Friendly, comfortable stay and good value for money

Pros: Friendly and comfortable stay. Rooms are across from the main building - only a thirty second walk. Room was clean and good value. Food was good and reasonably priced too. A good alternative to a chain hotel booking in a nice large villagfe with plenty of facilities available.

Welcoming and comfy

Pros: Very friendly staff welcomed us on our evening arrival and showed us our room and explained the various aspects of the hotel

Cons: Made no difference to our stay but the ominous crack running down the wall was a bit off putting, the toilet roll holder had broken off so that needs replacing.

Good place to stay - we're likely to do so again.

Pros: Very helpful staff - especially when I suffered a minor accident. Very comfortable bed. Spacious room and en-suite. Quiet environment.

Cons: Room wasn't cleaned/tidied on Saturday and only partially on Sunday (thoroughly done on Monday though). Temperature control on shower was too stiff for me to adjust. Minor problem with rail in wardrobe - difficult for me to reach (I'm 5'5\
