My friend and I booked a night in the guest house for some relaxation and down time. She had been one before and hadn't had a chance to take advantage of the facilities so was keen to re-visit. Ruth and Robert immediately made us feel at home, giving us a tour of the house and going through our breakfast options with us. We decided to head straight for the pool. We relaxed on the terrace while they prepared the pool and it was a lovely day. The terrace was very peaceful and overlooked the garden. They don't have an alcohol license but if you take your own they are happy to provide the glasses. They have a bar area with seating and a pool table right by the pool. We relaxed on sun beds and had a dip in the pool and generally chilled out and had some drinks. They have a music system in the pool area and happy to play your music if you wish, but we were quite happy with the radio. After we got changed we headed across the road to an Indian restaurant, it was great as it is literally a 2 min walk and I would definitely recommend it if you intend to eat out while staying at the guest house. When we returned we had our own entrance so that we didn't disturb Ruth and Robert, which was handy. We then went to the cinema room to watch a movie. We had taken our own dvd but there were plenty to chose from if we hadn't and some of the film have special effects which make the cinema seats move! It was a good job that we had taken a DVD as the internet was down and we wouldn't have been able to use the system for one of their films. It would have been helpful if we'd been given a heads up about the internet. There was barely any signal indoors without WiFi!
The guest house is on somewhat of a main road and I found it to be quite loud and was woken up a few times in the night. But other than that the room was great and bed comfortable. The room had everything you could think of in it, including a small fridge with drinks and snacks.
Breakfast in the morning was delicious. There was a cold selection of fruit, yogurts and cereal as well as one dish from a hot menu. I had the full English and it was delicious and was ready for the time we specified we would be down for breakfast. We were lucky as we were the only guests on the night so had all the areas to ourselves. We were sad to leave in the morning and I'm very sure that my friend and I will be going back for another relaxing night away. read more
