the location was so peaceful and the views were wonderful. the full english breakfast was excellent. the staff were really kind and helpful!

the wifi was intermittent. it did not serve evening meals, so we relied on snacks. the hotel was some distance out of the village, and i had to walk on the road.

Acceptable but Not Flawless

unreliable wifi missing restaurant

The staff accommodated us well.

I found the lack of an on-site restaurant inconvenient. I had to seek evening meals elsewhere. The WiFi signal proved unreliable. I experienced interruptions throughout my stay. These issues need resolution.
