excellent short break

garden view comfortable bed

the host, morris, was very friendly and helpful. our room was quiet with a comfortable bed and had a view of the garden. i found the bathroom good with a heated towel rail and a nice hot shower. complimentary tea, coffee and biscuits were replenished for our second day. the wifi worked well.

the walk to the town center took about 15 minutes this was a bit longer than i prefer. the path was simple and straight though.

small bathroom low water pressure

The breakfast included tasty options and was well-prepared I enjoyed it.

The bathroom was quite small it felt cramped. The shower temperature was difficult to regulate I struggled to find a comfortable setting. The water pressure was also very low making it hard to rinse off shampoo properly.
