This is a hotel thats in the making. Our room though clean and perfectly adequate overlooked the garden where pople sat but there were no nets or screens. Half window nets would make it possible to shower without embarasement Breakfast great. Coffee in room was out of date. No hooks for coats. Garden needs major work.A little pricy until things get sorted. Lovely owners and family. Things will be OK!

Anniversary treat away

Our lovely room over looked the garden and the fridge and homemade cookies were a surprise bonus. The owner Tyler was very friendly and helpful and his daughter served us when we had an evening meal which was excellent. Our breakfast was also delicious.

Very friendly host, very comfy and clean room and excellent breakfast. As it's a listed building there are limitations on eco-friendliness (no double glazing). Would love to return and try the restaurant.

We stayed in July 2024, in the Garden Room, the host was a nice guy very accommodating. On arrival shown to the room and facilities. The bed linen had to be changed as appeared it had been made but sheets not changed, and they had some stains on them, this was resolved quickly when reported to host. Water stain in the room above door, decor needed attention, curtain had hooks missing so difficult to draw. Toilet not clean.

The ceiling was stained with water marks from leaks and water dripped into my room all night through the door. Even though it had been raining, the bedroom should be sealed from water. Was told to put towels on floor. Highly unsatisfactory.
