Generally praised as very clean and 'spotlessly clean' in several reviews, but isolated issues (dog hair and dirty areas under sofa cushions) lowered this score slightly.
Service
8.8
Hosts (Paul and Maxine) repeatedly described as charming and helpful with excellent customer service, though one review noted staff being a little distant.

Amenities
9
Good range of amenities including sauna, yoga studio, access-code entry, café and in-room extras; some limitations (café/kitchen hours and bar area access) tempered the score.
Value for Money
9.3
Multiple reviewers stated the stay was 'worth every penny' and described the hotel as a favourite — strong perceived value overall.
Food and Beverage
8.8
Breakfast and food described positively (good breakfast, vegan shortbread, excellent café service) but breakfast often not included and café hours/availability are limited.

Lovely people, great location.
Pros:

Great location. Very pet friendly, lovely owners.

Cons:

Probably not suitable as a 2 bed apartment, sofa bed very uncomfortable. A twin bed option would be much easier and nicer. Noise from the road as we had a room right on it.

Pros:

struttura tranquilla, con camere abbastanza ampie ma da rivedere a livello di mobilia. Il bagno è moderno e di buone dimensioni.
Pulizia delle camere accettabile. La colazione va ordinata via whatsapp la sera prima e può essere consegnata in camera.

Cons:

Come in molti hotel inglesi, non c'è l'aria condizionata e in caso di temperature elevate, l'unico aiuto è un piccolo ventilatore da tavolo. Alcune camere sono al piano terra e si affacciano su parcheggi delle case confinanti e sulla strada, quindi non è possibile tenere le finestre aperte. Su queste camere la privacy è molto limitata. Essendo una guest house la reception verso le 19 chiude.
