    5 / 5
    This place is a little gem, everything was absolutely wonderful, Joe and the staff are all so attentive, nothing was too much trouble and the room was so comfortable with a view to die for, we had to force ourselves to go out! The description on Hotels.com just said 'a kettle' in the room but there was a kettle with tea, coffee and hot chocolate, lovely biscuits and two bottles of water. We stayed in Room 7 which had a very comfortable king size bed and windows witha panoramic view. The breakfast had lots of choice and the full English was lovely and fresh, good ingredients and hot with plenty of toast and tea or coffee. We didn't want to leave, will definitely be back.…
