    delicious breakfast
    cozy lounge
    dated bathroom

    I really enjoyed my stay, especially the delicious breakfast and the cozy vibe of the lounge where I could kick back with a drink. The garden offered a lovely space to relax and unwind, not to mention a great spot for chatting with other guests. Just a heads up, the bathroom could use some updates, but it didn’t take away from the overall experience! 😊

    cozy atmosphere
    beautiful garden
    damp corridor

    I had a lovely time here, enjoying the cozy old country house feel and relaxing in the beautiful garden area. The only downside was the faint smell of damp in the hallway, but my room was clean and comfortable. I recommend taking a stroll around the garden or enjoying a cup of coffee on the terrace. it's real nice! 😊

    Can't recommend highly enough for a momentary visit

    Comfortable room, convenient location, with free parking available to explore nearby attractions easily, and the breakfast was decent with the cooked options being satisfactory despite taking a little longer to arrive.

    Lovely stay with beautiful surroundings

    I had a delightful two-night stay. The garden view from my room added a refreshing touch, and the staff genuinely made me feel welcome. I highly recommend enjoying a meal in the charming outdoor space! Remember to ask for a room away from the main road for a quieter night.
