This looks a lovely place, very picturesque. However, be warned that this property is next to a train line and a caravan park. Extremely noisy. We had no sleep. Even left without eating breakfast as that fed up!

Room ok but amazing food!
Our stay was lovely apart from a couple of issues. There was no fan/air con so it was pretty hot during the night so had to sleep with the windows open. Another issue was the fact that the shower was boiling hot despite the fact that we had it set on cold/lowest setting. We spoke to the receptionist on leaving to inform them about it and was told there is a knack to getting the right temperature, apparently you have to start with just cold and then add hot which is what we doing in the first place so not very helpful for future guests.
