a good village stay
staff friendliness early check-in excellent food
The staff's friendliness was striking. They allowed an early check-in at 1 pm because i was on a trip. it involved scattering my late sister's ashes. the pub provided excellent food and beer, and the locals were cute. This combination really helped at a difficult time.

A Decent Stay
friendly staff comfortable room small sink limited dinner
The staff was indeed friendly and helpful. Our room, the Family Room, was very comfortable and clean. I found the breakfast to be tasty and enjoyable. It had everything I needed for a good start to my day.
Only pizza was available for dinner, and that was a bit disappointing. The bathroom sink was also very small. I felt it could have been better designed for convenience. These small things did affect my stay.
