Nice staff but not somewhere I'd want to stay again.
Pros:

The staff were very friendly and got us an iron when we needed one. They lent us playing cards. Comfy bed and soft towels.

Cons:

The carpet and the area under the bed were covered in dust. There were stains down the side of the fabric on the bed. The cushions on the bed were also dusty. There were dead flies in our kettle, hardly any of the plugs in the room worked, and the ironing board was broken.

The whole experience was horrendous. Would never, ever go back there again. EVER.
Pros:

Didn’t have breakfast. Location was beautiful and scenic.

Cons:

My friend Caroline, and i, are currently in a dispute with you. The whole experience was dreadful. Disgusting. You have emails and photos that have been forwarded to you.

Great place did the job!
Pros:

Room only. Fridge in room. No hot water, but shower was electric so OK. Arrived mid evening and left fairly early for Haynes Museum.

Cons:

Hot water in sink. Not so bad as we had electric shower. a kettle provided shaving water. A breakfast option would be useful.
