Bathroom was very dirty, room dusty and needed some tlc. Bed linen was clean. In guest information book it says kitchen open 12-9 however when I asked for a snack at 3pm it was closed until 5pm. On a plus the dinner was excellent.

Food was good and homemade. But rooms need much investment. Mattress you could feel the springs. Pillows lumpy. Kettle lid broken. Shelf in bathroom broken. Blind broken. Tv had electrical fault and kept coming on during the night.
