Do not stay here unless you like clutter everywhere. Attention to detail is poor eg the pencil in the bedside table was so blunt it could not be used & the relevant pages had been torn out of the guidebook in the bedroom. Various gadgets no longer worked as worn out batteries had not been replaced. The proprietors decided that we would like no heating & a summer duvet even though it was unseasonably cold. There was no heating in the bathroom. It would have been nice to have been given a choice.
The recommended pub was also poor. When we told Janice what we thought she said that the owners had become lazy & that it was very hit & miss - if so, why recommend it?
The breakfast Corn Flakes & Shreddies were almost empty, tasted rather stale and had large quantities of crumbs in the bottom of the packets. There was no sign of the advertised locally made preserves or home made bread.
The property was only just clean enough.
The hosts were friendly & welcoming but that did not make up for the deficiences.

We were shocked and disappointed to recieve this report, whilst it is impossible to please everyone all the time, we strive to represent the high grading we've earned and this has been reflected by over 95% of guests over 6 years.
Everyone has opinions, but to put them in such a manner does not reflect the high level of attention to detail we pay guests. We responded to the request for heating to be turned on (in June) and the duvet was changed immediately. There are always extra blankets or bedding options available and the bathroom is heated with adjustable thermostates on all radiators.
We do not provide gadgets for guests use, only remote controls for tv/dvd's which are all checked regularly.
We provide a list of places to eat depending on peoples tastes and likes and do not recommend any in particular, but do have guests feedback on all to comment on.
Hot home made bread is made daily and delivered at breakfast alongside the home made jams and honey to accompany a cooked breakfast, cooked to order of local produce.
We encourage Trip Advisor users to read the 25 excellent reports posted and to take this as one persons opinion that differs from the vast majority.
