We were checked in to a small but perfectly formed double with a spacious ensuite. The room was pristine with lovely original features and sash windows, great to leave open during the hot bank holiday. Breakfast was plentiful with lovely options, full English, smoked salmon, scrambled egg, eggs benediction a really wonderful choice.
