    The food in particular was excellent. We both had dietary requirements and these were no problem at all to be catered for. The room itself was spacious, especially the bathroom, and the staff were all very friendly. Although we had some issues with the bathroom's cleanliness, the main bedroom seemed very clean and the amenities that were available in the room were excellent - the plugs next to the bed even had USB sockets for our phone chargers, which was a bonus and unexpected.

    The location is great - walking distance from the centre of the village. It was very clean. There is good WiFi. We didn't need it, but it's wheelchair accessible (although not for cooking, so you'd need to eat out or have someone with you).
