Welcoming environment with comfortable accommodation. A little more attention to detail might elevate this hotel to 5 stars- for instance provision of a full length mirror in bedrooms or shower caps in bathrooms (as the shower in our room was not adjustable). Breakfast was a bit disappointing- poor coffee, toaster not working to deliver decent toast, strange scrambled egg. Having said all that we like the warm feel of this bijoux destination and will consider returning in the hope that they make a step forwards.

Gorgeous hotel. Choc full of lovely little extra touches eg ginger gin in our room, wellies to borrow for a muddy walk etc. We ate in the hotel and the food at dinner and breakfast was fantastic. The perfect combination of quality with a relaxed atmosphere. We will definitely be back.
