i liked the staff, they were very helpful. the breakfast was fresh and cooked to order. the garden lodge was at the rear of the hotel and consisted of two levels, the living room and kitchen area were downstairs, and the bed and bathroom were upstairs.
the hotel gave the impression of a country house on the website, but it is more of a pub that sells food.
