    Breakfast was good
    The room we were staying in had the main kitchen extractor fan on next door during the whole day. The room we were staying in had the kitchen's walk in fridge making a noise every 10 minuets for 10 mins. throughout the Night. We had cut our stay by 2 days because of the industrial noise.

    Disappointing
    It was a shame about the noise and and mattress because everything else was very good.
    Location was very good and we had very good dinner with friends.
    Mattress were very uncomfortable. Very soft and sagging in the middle. The noise from the kitchen below overnight was so laud we did not sleep much at night and had to cancel the next night and return home earlier.

    Pleasant
    Noise at night spoilt our stay.
    Fantastic Property and Location, room was beautiful
    Our room was above the kitchen so we had the extract fan vibrating through the walls up until about 9pm, finally peace and quiet!!....however that was short lived as industrial units (fridges/air con??) intermittently switched on/off throughout the night . Also the guest in the room adjacent to us was allowed a late check in, so they woke us up at 2am!!...so overall not a good night sleep by either of us. Food....we were looking forward to a lovely dinner given the reviews we had read, i ordered Hunters Chicken expecting a free range juicy chicken breast, what i got was half a flattened bit of chicken with a bit of bacon on top which was also dry and chewy like the chicken (my wife would not let me complain), her scampi was ok but food not worth the money. At Breakfast it was pleasant but we were not sure if our toast was fried bread?? it was so dry and the portions of butter were liquid oil when opened, beans were also dry....think food was left under heater too long.
