Disappointing
We were in an outside, downstairs room with a separate exterior entrance from the "Inn" which was a surprise to us. The lighting to the room was only partly working (a bit dangerous). Our "view" was of a cinder-block wall. When we rang the bell to enter the main house we were not welcomed. When someone brought us clean towels the following morning, she did not even knock or call out- she just opened the door.

Excellent location, easy checking in. Room clean, facilities fine, very comfy bed. Breakfast very good, staff friendly and accommodating.
Room was maybe in need of some updating, eg.Armchair with worn coverings, taps old.
