"Room 1 should be advertised/used as a single room as too small for 2 people. It wasn't value for money! No chair to put anything & limited storage. The bathroom needs some hooks or a rail for towels. It was clean. All food we had was very good. All staff were helpful, friendly & polite. We will go again but request anything but Room 1!"

10/10 Excellent
"Amazingly relaxed setup, lovely grounds, fantastic quality room and extras. The wife and I had an absolute blast with our dog for our anniversary. The hot tub was the star of our stay! Could not fault the place, even if we tried. Only tiny downside was a dog poop from a previous visitor had not been cleaned up prior to our check-in, which didn't bother us much as we had to pick our own up anyway lol, but can see how that would be very off-putting to others.Anyway, would definitely recommend this stay to anyone looking to unplug for a while in a beautiful spot with fantastic views. The honesty shop was also a nice touch."
