We arrived to a friendly greeting from Pauline and various cats and dogs, which we felt was lovely, being pet lovers ourselves. The room was clean, with a nice view of the Kitchen garden. Plenty of choice for Breakfast, and a chat with Owen. I feel I should mention the Clock in the hall, which chimes every hour, even through the night.!! It's not a DONG but a TING TING, and you soon get used to it. Also a Cocktail starts at 4 o'clock, but again, it didnt bother us. Overall, a pleasant stay.
