    Radiator thermostat valve not connected to radiator so couldn't control the temperature and it was boiling in the room with radiator very very hot on a warm day. Fortunately no heating on through the night but it was very noisy from the boiler I guess early morning when it kicked in. We also had no hot water at the sink or the shower. Evening or in the morning so cold showers. It was a shame but I am sure this was a one off so would stay here again but in a different room.

    Excellent room, excellent location and good breakfast.

    No reception meant nowhere to leave our luggage for the day, which made our life a lot more complicated than it needed to be.

    Overall okay, the breakfast was quite nice.

    The outside area wasn't loved, and our room looked out to a grubby shed. But we booked at 6pm the night before arrival.

    Parking on site, easy check in via keypads. Room was ok, very clean. I gor shower as requested. Breakfast good, with lovely lady serving. Ok for the money, a little TLC would be beneficial. But hey, stayed in worse.

    Was sooooooo hot. A fan was provided but was still exceptionally hot.. windows open up close to footpath outside so was a bit uncomfortable with leaving them open.

    Lovely clean room with a comfortable bed. Fabulous space. Shower was satisfactory. Was quite difficult to find and had to drive around in circles for a while to find the property, but once we had located it, we had a space available to us

    The access method by e mail and phone caused problems as we arrived near the end of the permitted check in time. The person on the phone was not very helpful to start with but we got the information from her in the end . This proved quite stressful after a long drive,

    The location was convenient

    I was in room 3. The listing said a fan would be provided but I couldn’t find one. Luckily the weather wasn’t too hot so it didn’t matter too much. The two-button toilet flush was broken - only one of the buttons functioned. No big problem but thought I’d mention it so that the owners are aware and can get it fixed.

    Not luxurious but more than adequate. Nice comfortable bed - I had a good nights sleep. The breakfast was excellent - perfectly poached eggs and lovely tasty brown bread. Good choice of cereal, juices and preserves.

    The bathroom has only the toilet water box lid for storage. We had toiletries on the floor. I suppose at 87 and 90yrs we could consider it an exercise. Also nowhere to hang anything.

    Breakfast fine. Location good. This survey keeps growing.
