broken remote missing toiletries
The tv remote in my room didn't work. I told someone, but nothing changed! it was frustrating since i wanted to relax after a long day. also, the promised toiletries were missing from the bathroom, i only had one small soap bar. i had to go downstairs to ask for shampoo and shower gel, a real inconvenience!

The bedroom was spacious. I found the lounge with a fire available for all very nice. The garden was lovely, and the parking area was easily accessed. The breakfast was excellent. I appreciated the quality.
The car park is located on the opposite side of the main road. It was not a huge problem, but it is worth knowing.

adequate stay with minor drawbacks
cold bathroom restrictive breakfast
I found a couple of issues . the bathroom lacked adequate heating, a problem considering the climate. the breakfast service felt somewhat restrictive. Requesting additional toast seemed to cause undue concern for the staff. (i understand cost control, but guest comfort matters too.) these aspects detracted from an otherwise satisfactory experience.
