Great vibe, lovely location and inquisitive chickens

Pros: The hotel had a warm, busy atmosphere and its position is lovely. We enjoyed the best food of our four nights in the area. The chickens were a nice feature of the experience!

Cons: The room was a little cramped. The duvet was one of my pet hates - only just about the same area as the bed, so we spent the night fighting one another to keep at least some of ourselves under it!
