The steam train station is a short walk away, adding a touch of magic; plus, the option for a text-based check-in caters to private travellers.

The room had lovely attention to detail (i appreciated the fresh towels). it felt more like staying at a friend's home. i enjoyed being able to see and hear the steam trains from the windows. being able to check in via text was fantastic. This made coming and going easy.

The kettle plug did not work well. I had to push it in to make it work.

The staff was helpful and suggested places for us to visit. The pub downstairs was nice.

I found that the main door was locked when I wanted to leave, and there was no one around. I had to find my way out through a back door. This was a fire risk. A sign said, 'Smile you're on CCTV,' like I chose to exit this way.
