We were personally greeted by the owner and offered help with our luggage which was a nice touch. The entrance hall has a real wow-factor and the hotel is immaculately kept, inside and out. Our room overlooked the owner's beautiful garden and I spotted some freshly harvested potatoes in a trug on the patio! Our room was spacious, light and well-equiped with modern decoration. It was spotlessly clean with some lovey personal touches and thoughtful extras. We were particularly impressed with the provision of hot chocolate sachets, biscuits and water on the hospitality tray. The bed linen was crisp and fresh and, on arrival, our room was beautifully presented with towels neatly folded on the end of the bed and scatter cushions arranged nicely. We were very pleased that there was a duvet and no itchy blankets - bliss!. The only complaint we had was that the bed was a bit soft in the middle. Whilst the en-suite was 'quirky' (part of the room partioned off with a stud wall and sliding door) and it had an avocado suite it was more than adequate and was so clean it was gleaming. Again, there were thoughtful touches like air freshener, liquid soap and a 'spot the difference' on the wall opposite the loo. Most of the furnishings looked brand new and the wardrobes etc. were of a very good quality, chunky pine (proper wooden hangers in wardrobes). The lounge has spectacular views, there was a very good choice for breakfast and the full English was one of the best I've ever had - hot and fresh. We would thoroughly recommend this hotel to anyone. We're already planning our next stay.
