Noisy bedroom
Bedroom spacious but very noisy from generator and large refrigerator in kitchen below. Even wearing ear plugs difficult to cut out sound that went off and on all night.

Perfect country getaway
Wow! We had a great stay with Jonathan and Ronnie. A lovely country pub with great food and wine, and a spacious and well equipped room to relax in. Couldn’t ask for more.
