weak wi-fi signal high noise level
the breakfast service met expectations, especially catering to my vegan requirements.
i was a bit disappointed with the noise levels. i could hear other guests moving around and talking. it made it difficult to relax fully. also, the wi-fi signal was quite weak in my room, frustrating as i needed to do some work.

staff friendliness breakfast quality room unavailability late cancellation
The staff quickly showed us around. They went through breakfast options. The place is BEAUTIFUL and breakfast was great.
Unfortunately we did not get the opportunity to stay. The owner called a couple of days before arrival and said that the room was no longer available! I am very disappointed, as it is a busy weekend.

drafty window broken remote
The hosts were attentive and cute. Breakfast included fresh, local produce and a good selection.
The room did not include enough storage space. My luggage occupied much of the floor. The television remote control did not work. I had to manually change channels. There was also a noticeable draft near the window, made the room a bit chilly.

Wonderful Stay!
tudor mansion communal lounge lovely staff
The Tudor mansion showed contemporary comfort. The location allowed easy access to both town and nearby railway station. The communal lounge provided a wood burner and a bar. The owner and staff were lovely. I will visit again.
I found the check-in time a bit late. Earlier access would improve the experience, especially for travelers arriving before 4 PM. It would be beneficial .
