broken flush poor breakfast
the lack of staff was unsettling for the four days i stayed. arriving, i found the toilet's flush broken a good surprise no one bothered to check. contacting staff was a task. i learned fixing it had to wait until the next day that's customer service for you! the breakfast wasn't advertised much so my expectations were already low. however what was provided hardly qualifies as a three-star experience. the bathroom cleanliness also left something to be desired

a cozy retreat
wow factor warm bed
The room had a nice wow factor when i first walked in. i really loved the haribos. It was a tender touch. the bed was also really warm and cute, a perfect end to a long day.
there were no staff to be seen anywhere, and the keysafe fob didn't work for the first few minutes. it felt outdated!

classic charm and comfort
four poster bed sizeable bathroom quiet location
the room featured a four poster bed i found beautiful. a sizeable bathroom. i appreciated the classic style, particularly the fine views from the room. location was quiet, a plus, away from the main road and easy to access.
i found the hot water situation slightly inconvenient, and the messaging implied a possible misunderstanding about tap usage.

the hotel is conveniently situated for accessing the high street and nearby walking routes. it's a great base to explore the surrounding attractions, and the setting provides a peaceful atmosphere away from busier areas.
