"The instructions on how to enter the property and find our room were clear and easy to follow. The hotel inside and out, was tidy and presentable. Paths had been swept and the downstairs lobby and lounge area were welcoming. Lights had been left on, even though it was only early evening. Our room was spotless. No dust, no bits on the carpet and the bathroom had been properly cleaned. The bed linen and towels were white and very clean. No frayed edges on the towels or shabby looking materials. There was also a good selection of nice toiletries. Yes, the hotel is in need of updating, however, the owners are clearly doing their best. I would like to congratulate them on what they have achieved and wish them every success. They are clearly working hard with the resources they have and deserve to succeed. The breakfast area was immaculate. The couple of plates we'd seen the previous night had been removed. There was a good selection of cereals, yogurts, fruit juice, pastries, bread and fresh fruit. Everything had been thought about and carefully prepared. It did feel lonely with there being no staff present at all during our visit. It would have been nice to have had a friendly face to welcome us as we arrived and at breakfast. For a cooked meal, the Dial Inn is within walking distance. Great, tasty food and lovely atmosphere. Advisable to book, if you want food, as it gets very busy."
