A bed and no breakfast

After I arrived I was informed that my payment did not cover breakfast. This came as a shock and left me disappointed. It spoiled my stay.

Room was clean and comfortable but tired. Parking was good. Access to town centre was good. Host was friendly.

I had a lovely room, breakfast was enjoyable and I felt well looked after. I was disappointed though that I was unable to watch TV as was told there was something wrong with the remote control. They were unable to rectify this during my 3 night stay.

Had a wonderful warm welcome from John when we arrived. Lovely garden to sit in. Not only were the breakfasts great but we were welcomed back from our day out with home baked cake. Would definitely recommend and can’t wait to go back.
