We stayed for just one night, a special wedding anniversary celebration. We hear the premises has just been taken over by new owners. A gentleman in an overcoat and peaked hat helped us with a Firestick for our bedroom TV, we weren’t sure who he was, he didn’t introduce himself, sadly, but we were grateful. As he left for the evening, whilst we were sitting in the bar, his instructions to Becky were that she mustn’t let the fire go out, we liked that. Becky had already introduced herself, she had checked us in, shown us around and made us feel incredibly welcome and at home. We’d booked the bed, breakfast and dinner package and we ate our evening meal by the fire feeling very looked after by her. The Japanese style food was great, the wine list was very reasonable. We were in room 8, the ceiling light needs replacing, but the room was warm, clean, quiet and very comfortable. Although we had the option if either of us wished, to upgrade our continental breakfast to a cooked one, we thoroughly enjoyed the warm pastries, fruit, yoghurt and cheese and ham. We asked for butter which arrived in two pats put on to the table instead of on a dish, and I’ve seen from earlier reviews that we could have asked for toast, which I know my husband would’ve appreciated. But in fairness, most residents arrived for breakfast pretty much at the same time so we understood any misgivings, breakfast was great. What was missing if I’m to be a little bit picky was a thanks and farewell as we left, it’s just that it would’ve wrapped up that lovely little package that Becky had opened the night before. Hope to come back again in better weather to also use the pool.
