limited fruit broken coffee machine
The breakfast disappointed me a bit. i only eat fruit and coffee in the morning, but the fruit options were limited. There were few old blueberries and pre-cut strawberries. the coffee machine in my room was broken. i told the staff, but they didn't offer a replacement. decaf coffee was also unavailable at breakfast.

A lovely inn with thoughtful touches..

warm welcome comfortable bed
The staff extended a warm welcome upon my arrival. The room offered ample tea, coffee, shortbread, and bottled water. The breakfast was generous.. I especially appreciated the gluten-free bread, cereal, and coconut milk available, which suited my dietary needs perfectly. The bed was so comfortable. A detail I really valued after a long day.

I appreciate the excellent choice of breakfast.
The shower needs an update, as I couldn't control the water temperature. The entire pub need decorating. I spotted the carpet in the bar, and it was very stained and really needs replacing.
