fantastic location beautiful scenery extractor shaft standard breakfast
The hotel has a fantastic location with AMAZING views. It is only a few minutes walk into the village centre. There are several pubs, restaurants and cafés nearby. The outdoor space is GREAT for a drink with beautiful scenery!
Our room was near the kitchen's extractor shaft. There was a loud droning hum. The receptionist assured us that the humming stops around 9:30pm when the kitchen is closed. Breakfast quality is standard, nothing SPECIAL.
