informative details convenient location
the welcome i received from richard was lovely. he provided informative details regarding the guest house, the facilities, and the surrounding area. the honesty bar was a nice touch, and i appreciated the delicious breakfast served in the morning. the guesthouse had a convenient location for walking into town.
there was no air conditioning, and my room became rather stuffy. it made sleeping a bit uncomfortable during the warmer parts of the day. i hope they consider installing ac units in the future.

The breakfast included local bacon black pudding and Cumberland sausage served in a stack I found that acceptable.
The additional facilities are at a location down the road I was not pleased about that. There was no air conditioning in my room it became stuffy. I think the place is waiting for some investment maybe.
