We stayed here as we were attending a birthday celebration locally so the location was perfect for us. The lodge is set in a lovely garden which was very peaceful. It had everything we need for a short stay and we slept very well in the comfortable bed. We were able to come and go as we pleased. The breakfast was very good, quality ingredients cooked well. The sausages were particularly good. Mark was an excellent host, very friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend.

There wasn’t anything we didn’t like as such. There’s only one thing I would add and that’s brighter lighting above the bathroom mirror or a touch mirror that lights up to make shaving/applying make up easier.

What a joy to stay in this village in such a beautiful bed and breakfast. We had a room with a balcony and a view of the slipway. The room was very comfortable, the staff very friendly and considerate and the breakfast excellent.

poor quality breakfast, too expensive, no reception, poor communication before arrival, dirty upholstery, far too crowded breakfast room with tables. The rooms are very very hot, we stayed in May and could not sleep because of the heat. The quality of food is definitely below standard, breakfast is really not adequate for this sort of hotel and for the dates we paid. The management have decided to close reception, so the waiters (wonderful staff by the way) switch from being bar/room waiters to checking people in and out. Two of bars - which are the most beautiful rooms in the hotel overlooking the garden have been closed off for lack of personnel. The decor is outdated, most upholstery in the dining area is stained and the general smell of the place is unpleasant. Some of the rooms we were given (I booked 8) were small, dark and noisy. All in all, the place is run cheaply with no care for quality and we were left with the clear feeling of having been ripped off. Great kudos to the staff who put up with it all with a smile.

Better car parking - parking was open to the public and only limited spaces

It was very clean, decorated neutrally and nice linen/towels.

Big disappointment was that the bins were full from previous guests and the host expected us to carry it through the house. There was no space for our rubbish and we didn’t need to be messaged three times about it. We did it but it was not fair to ask guests to do this when previous guests have filled the bins completely. The hairdryer doesn’t give out hot air, it should be replaced.

Food expensive for what it was. Thin pillows and bed quilts. The sauna was not operating - so not much of a spa. The stay was overpriced for the room and food. I’ve stayed in much more comfortable Premier Inns and Travel Lodges for far less.
