Pros:

Great location and views. Friendly staff

Cons:

Was expensive for room only. Would have been good to have breakfast available. Access was awkward when pub was closed and tea and coffee facilities not replaced, unless you requested it.

The evening meal was very nice. But not so much choice.
Pros:

Friendly people .

Cons:

Was very hot in the night no ventilation. Light just outside bedroom window in the night so it was very light in the night . And a silly step just before bedroom door when its dark its very dangerous needs to have floor light or senser light i feeled 2 times cos i always forgot. Shame no breakfast for this price .

Meal in the pub was excellent.
Comfy bed.
A pretty village to walk around in.

Cons:

10-11 pm there was noise from the pub below our room including music. This delayed us getting to sleep until the pub closes about 11 pm

A very confort stop-over ; I would certainly recommend it highly to friends or family.
Pros:

Rooms clean and fresh
Food very good but not exceptional
Welcoming and helpful staff

Cons:

Breakfast is not provided on site, but in a breakfast bistro some 200m distant. Not a real problem but some would find it inconvenient and of course it’s not included in the overnight cost.
