The hostess was cheerful and friendly, and the room scrupulously clean. The continental breakfast had a good cereal selection, fresh fruit, and yogurt. The family had some dogs which didn't interact with guests, but were noisy in the early morning. It didn't particularly bother us, but some might find it disturbing. No outside food is allowed in the house, so it would have been nice if there was a picnic table available, for nights when we wanted to sample some of the local grab-and-go options (like the excellent fish-and-chips shop a few minutes walk away!) Overall, a pleasant stay!
