I spoke with staff via phone before booking. They have excellent advice about room type for a family of 5 and were very helpful. Staff interactions with us prior to arriving, on check-in and throughout the stay were excellent. They went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed and even stored out bikes securely overnight for us (and called us to offer this after seeing them on our car). The loft room was great for our purpose and breakfast was very good too. Location was good and the property was charming and well-kept.

* Great location * Nice pet friendly rooms * Scrumptious breakfast buffet * Friendly staff and service * Manicured garden. Things to improve: * Bathrooms need proper exhaust fans. * Adjoining back yards to pet friendly rooms need regular maintenance.
