Negative Reviews
negative:
Occasional bathroom grumbles
Some critics wished all the rooms had contained en suite bathrooms. Instead, guests in one of the rooms had to make do with a private toilet and shower room just along the corridor.
negative:
Village location had drawbacks
The village location seemed better suited to drivers. However, the property was reachable by bus for non-drivers. In the evenings and at weekends, when buses were less frequent, access sometimes became trickier for those without their own transport.
negative:
Nuisance noise reported
Many guests enjoyed a quiet stay. However, light sleepers noted that the sound of footsteps from adjoining rooms sometimes travelled rather easily due to the wooden flooring.
