Pros:

Fab place and beautiful soft furnishings made by Emma ,both Ziggy and Emma very friendly and welcoming room had everything and more lovely fresh flowers a nice touch x

Cons:

Only thing that let it down were the bath towels were very hard even though they were quality towels on a positive note you can look up useing white vinegar instead of softner every other wash or so this removes the build up of soap you can google how to and only other thing could do with a mat in the shower as its a little slippery but these are easy fixes and did not detract from our stay ,we will see you next year when we come down again

A relaxed and easy going stay
Pros:

Well appointed and relaxed feel, owners very friendly and thoughtful

Cons:

Nothing really, though access lane is rather narrow for larger cars, could do with mentioning this in the info

flowers in the rooms, essentials like milk, tea and coffee. Lovely toiletries and a nice selection of cereal and croissa
Pros:

Ziggy could not have been more helpful, having said that, he & Emma were just a phone call away if I needed anything but did not interfere with my stay in any way

Cons:

Tight alleyway to get to the parking spot - but it is town centre, and space is at a premium.

Great all round
Pros:

Great staff, great place, great views. They were really helpful and friendly and the place was really clean. It was good to have a fridge and freezer and a microwave too.

Cons:

Breakfast could be better but otherwise it was ace. I did expect more when I booked but maybe I didn’t look into the details.
