Alex, the host, was extremely pleasant and helpful & we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Whilst some areas perhaps required updating, we had everything we needed, it was very comfortable and it was great to have a separate lounge area with TVs in the lounge & bedroom.

Excellent.

2nd stay at this property. So comfy, clean and lots of thought has gone into the needs of the guests. Breakfast was hot and tasty, delivered to your door at a time pre arranged. 2 minutes walk to local pub that serves delicious food. Definitely would recommend.

Pleasant host, poor standard room

Upon arriving we met the owner who was very friendly and welcoming. On first glance the room seemed ok. But further inspection revealed to be a tired mismatched room. The path to the room was unkept and messy. The bed yet comfortable was mismatched bedding not the crisp white one colour bedding you would expect. The pillow cases didn’t match the sheets or the quilt cover. In the kitchen dinette was well equipped with a kettle toaster microwave and plates and cutlery for microwave or takeaway food. Unfortunately in the fridge stored open and used bottles and jars of sauce jam honey. In the cupboard was a Tupperware of some sort of cereal. Non of this should have been left in the room. There was a glass jar of biscuits that anyone could have had their hands on. Nothing was sealed new or fresh for use, like single serving jam and honey as I would not like to use an open jar not knowing how long it had been opened and used. In the bathroom the theme was the same bottle of soap already having been used and not refilled. Shampoo and things I didn’t bother checking was there too. The towels seemed ancient in design two brown patterned bath towels and a blue hand towel. A dirty toilet brush with tissue paper on it. I didn’t even want to use the shower and couldn’t wait to get home to wash my clothes and myself. The room was dusty too. The breakfast was bought to you which was sausage bacon poached sloppy egg but hard yolk and bullet beans and hard toast. Invest in single sealed use

A quiet oasis

I was staying in the area for 3 days with work. I was considering a chain hotel but saw this on Hotels.com. It was reasonably priced and close to where I was working. I was pleasantly surprised when I arrived. It was a lovely little self contained cottage whee I could finish work and shut myself away from the world. There was a microwave and kettle although no oven or hob but there is a decent pub a few yards down the road for food. A lovely quiet oasis in a busy, frantic world

Everything was great. Lovely linens, nice large towels in the bathroom, easy to park outside. Good to have your own front door. The kitchenette had tea and coffee, a microwave and a fridge - perfect for our needs. Alex delivered the breakfast to the door and it was delicious. He was a fabulous host and is doing a wonderful job. I would definitely recommend. Well worthy of the numerous 5 star reviews.
