Decent stay with minor drawbacks

friendly staffhelpful staffbreakfast viewlocal produceblack out curtainssmall beduncomfortable mattress
I found the staff very friendly and helpful. They were keen to ensure my stay was comfortable. Breakfast offered lovely views from the breakfast room. The food was quality local produce (I especially liked the eggs!).
My room needed black out curtains. Lights were on all night outside, and they shone into the room. The bed was very small, and the mattress was uncomfortable. The floorboards in the room need some attention (they felt a bit unstable).
