We turned up earlier but our host (lynne) did not mind at all. I thought it was all very cosy from the breakfast room to the bar and then the bedroom. One good thing was the breakfast tick list. Basically, you pre-order your brekkie and time slot and.... tah dah. Our room was very clean and thank god there were biccies to go with the tea in the morning.
