  : All the staff (and the owner) were super friendly and helpful - but be aware that, when there is nobody in Reception, the call button is hiding on the wall in the entrance passage, round the corner from the Reception desk.The food was to die for! Dinner - not cheap, but very reasonably priced, given the quality - was delicious, with tastes I've never experienced before. Their chef is evidently a genius! Breakfast (included in the price I paid) was very generous, including several rashers of bacon, half of a really good, meaty tomato (none of your watery balls with a thin layer of flesh!), and a sausage that was clearly a premium local product. The plate was hardly big enough to hold everything!The bed was comfortable, the room spacious and warm. Unfortunately, the pressure in the shower was rather low, and the temperature control on the shower could hardly be moved at all. Also, the toilet was badly placed so that, in leaning forward to wipe, one's head pushes against the heated towel rail. These drawbacks would make me want to give only four and a half stars, but that's not possible, and my stay overall was so pleasant and enjoyable that I'm giving five out of five - it would be unfair to reduce it to four.I'll certainly return for the wonderful food and service, and I would be happy to stay overnight again as well.
  : As I've said above, the water pressure in the shower was disappointingly low, although it was enough to serve its purpose. Again, as I said above, the temperature control on the shower was impossible to move more than a small fraction.The owner explained that they specialise in functions - weddings and such like - and I would be wary about staying for a weekend, in case of noisy partying in the large marquee just across the garden from the bedroom window. There was no function on when I stayed, so no problem, but I felt a sense of unease because of the possibility.
