This is difficult to describe. The plus points are that the linen is excellent, the breakfast great, and the room large.
This is a very large house that has been converted into guest accommodation, one would suspect by incredibly well meaning and enthusiastic people who care a lot, but who havnt themselves traveled that much.
We arrived at 15:40 to find the place bolted shut. It seems that 17:00 is not just check in time, it is " don't even expect to park here and have a cup of tea" time! Given the location timing the arrival via highway to this level of accuracy is something of a fine art.
The rooms are large, clean and comfortable. However, try and steer away from the two in the attic. They are so shaped that only a child under five can walk in 50% of them, making the size somewhat pointless. The bathroom isn't a room, it's a zone with a small jacuzzis. A shower unit would be more practical, especially given that Sophie, who is charmingly apologetic, asks that you don't use it after 9 because of the noise. You also need to be a small mountain goat, or at least share some genes with one, to access the rooms.
The common areas are large but sparse in the way that can only really be described as somewhat bleak.
The car parking is very safe, but oddly shaped so that once three cars are in it is full and difficult to get in or out of the gate.
Sophie tries, bless her, to make you as welcome as she can, but she is up against things
