8.8Verified guest

“I was impressed by how attentive the hosts were — they even set up a travel cot for the baby, which was really nice. Breakfast was a hot, delicious Full English every morning. Staff were friendly, though as a family I felt a bit out of place since they seemed to cater mainly to couples.”

“Clean and spacious room with divine pillows — a perfect getaway vibe. We really enjoyed staying here.”
