11 Leisure Visit - 14/11/07	80%
Good Points: Plenty of space; clean, modern decor, comfortable bed.
Bad Points: Ground floor room facing directly onto street made me wary of opening a window overnight.
Further Comments: One person, presumably the landlord, seemed to do everything and had to leave a busy bar to show me quickly to my room. He was perfectly polite, but I didn't really have chance to ask any questions and there was no information in the room about meal times or local facilities. The room itself was fine, although I would ask for an upstairs room another time so that I could have my window open. Service at breakfast was prompt and friendly. The food was plentiful and freshly cooked. As they had known in advance that I am vegetarian it would have been nice to be offered veggie sausages to replace the meat. I would have liked to have the option of wholemeal toast too. All in all though it was a pleasant stay and I would not hesitate to return.

Good Points: It was clean, beds were very comfortable, ensuite shower room, towels fluffy, ample parking. We had a nice meal in the evening
Bad Points: The fact that the boiler wasn't working properly consequently the radiators were off, the water was tepid & the shaver lamp didn't work
Further Comments: After a cold shower in the morning sought out our hostess who gave us a key to another room in a separate building so at least one of us had a hot shower. Also, she did make a reduction in our bill.

Good Points: The accomodation was very good, the room was modern and clean, lovely local village location.
Bad Points: The staff were friendly and helpful but they didn't seem very organised with the breakfast rush, maybe they were short staffed on the day.
Further Comments: Overall I would book to stay here again if in the area, the room was great and the service good too. We didn't have a meal at the restaurant but the menu did have a good selection and had we had the time I would have sampled the food. Would definitly recommend them as felt it was good value.
