  : Lovely welcome from the staff. A lot of effort had gone into making the room welcoming
  : Although a non-smoking room on the first floor, our room was above the point where the smokers congregated so even with a closed window the room was full of the stale smell of their habit. It was getting close to one in the morning before the smoking group disbanded and the noise died down.The shared bathroom wasn't really a problem, but hadn't been made clear in the listing, so was a bit unexpected.

  : Nice location and the inn had an authentic rustic feel about it.
  : No food although advertised that there was a restaurant there. Was with a party of other guests who had issues with their booking and had to pay again. Wifi was rubbish.

  : In a lovely, quiet little village. Nice bathroom with a good shower. Kettle and tea/coffee/hot chocolate in the room.
  : Room could have done with bedside light(s) and sockets. Breakfast not available. Don’t know if this was a temporary issue but if not the details need to be adjusted to avoid disappointment.

  : Staff were very polite and helpful.
  : Didn't seem particularly well organised, nobody seemed to expect a guest to be staying when I arrived with my partner. We were told that breakfast wasn't being offered currently which wasn't ideal as there isn't much in the village. We were then shown up too our room, which whilst not dirty definitely wasn't clean either, and then informed the bathroom is shared. This wasn't mentioned anywhere online or noted during the booking process, in fact there are even pictures of 2 different bathrooms so I'm not sure where the other one is, if it exists.We decided not to stay. When I told them, to their credit, they were very understanding and suggested the pub round the corner as a potential for the night - I suspect we weren't the first to arrive and then decide to leave within 30minutes. I was told the owner would ring me to arrange a refund however I haven't heard anything 2 weeks later.

  : Friendly helpful staff from the minute I arrived.
  : There wass no indication on the site that there was no breakfast available during my stay. I knew that it was a shared bathroom but would never book one aagain.

  : The location, the staff and the evening meal, it is in a fantastic rural location, the staff were exceptionally welcoming and the food was prepared to a high standard.
