The family-run atmosphere extends to the rooms, providing a cozy base after a day exploring the nearby zoo or countryside.

clean bed romantic location really good bedding faulty tv limited breakfast weak wifi
The room was lovely. i adored the really good clean bed and bedding. It gave me the best sleep i had in weeks. i found the location beautiful and the view over the beer garden so romantic.
The room did not reflect all reviews. The tv didn't work the owner informed. Wi-fi did not connect. i would have loved breakfast options beyond a Full English, perhaps with cereal or fruit.

plastic chair tiny desk
the breakfast was lovely from nuno, a warm welcome was received too.
i booked a superior room with a sofa, but i was given a small room with a plastic chair and tiny desk. the balcony was just the top of the outdoor stairs. the landlord was very pleasant though the experience was basic.
