"We stayed 5 nights — 3 in the Cosy Room, 2 in the Family Room. Overall a lovely, easy stay let down by several small maintenance issues that would be simple to fix.
The good:
- Staff were genuinely friendly throughout
- Great walks nearby
- Joiners Arms pub is a 5-minute walk away
- Easy to get to, comfortable beds
- Hot tub in the Family Room was a winner
Room for improvement:
- Ventilation: The room with the mini fridge/safe/hangers in the Cosy Room gets like a sauna. No airflow, and the fridge just adds heat
- Water pressure: Bathroom tap in both rooms sprays hard every time you turn it on
- Shower: Half-glass wall in both rooms; in the Cosy Room the shower space is small so water ends up everywhere
- Flooring: Uneven laminate in the Cosy Room, mainly bathroom and fridge room
- Garden: Not fully enclosed — lovely but keep an eye on dogs; a small gate would help
- Breakfast: Hot food (avocado on toast, eggs on toast) took 35+ min both mornings at the Joiners Arms — felt disorganised. Continental options were fine. Bagged breakfast good for on-the-go, but missing condiments one day
- Housekeeping: A few cobwebs in the bathroom; shower mat/towel wasn't replaced one day
None of these are very bad items individually, but together they take the stay from great to just good. Address the small issues and this would easily be a 5-star spot."
