Band in pub was good sleep was impossible
The room is above a pub that was full of young people who drank far too much they were very loud until very late into early morning hours. The bed was not at all comfortable. The food was good the owners very nice but they need to close pub at reasonable hour to allow comfort of sleeping by guests.

Not felt safe
To be honest it was not a good experience. I didn’t feel safe having to do the check in on the bar that was completely full of people, some of them wasn’t using mask and definitely not keeping social distance at all. Most of the staff wasn’t using masks too and during the breakfast the lady serving the food was using the mask covering only her mouth and I not felt comfortable to see her breathing over my plate.

We received a warm welcome and our dog was spoiled by the staff. We were offered use of the private forest area to exercise the dog. The room was immaculate with beautiful wooden furniture. We ate at the pub in the evening which was lovely. Breakfast was plentiful and the staff were so helpful and friendly.
