The hosts. The cleanliness. The facilities and how well they are maintained. The location. Everything. Rumpelstiltskin (that would be Matthew) made breakfast a real joy and his wife Lucy had a huge smile when we arrived and left. And yes, we wish we would have stayed another night 😊

Food amd service was excellent, hotel was spotlessly clean. Even though our room was at the front of the hotel there was very little passing noise. Most of the noise was from the family above but was not a bother.
