the staff was lovely. she let me know, because i was arriving late, that she would leave my room open with the key inside. the owner waited for me and showed me around. he helped me book a breakfast, a very nice touch.

The shower cubicle was tiny in the bathroom. Some people won't fit there.

mixed feelings about this place

cold eggsfrozen butter

the breakfast was not good. i booked for 9am, but the chef came in after 9:10. breakfast was on the table very quickly, maybe in 3 minutes, i think it was pre-prepared. the poached eggs were cold and the butter was frozen, but the sausage was hot, so i am confused.
