It was booked as a birthday treat for my other half and we were not disappointed at all. It was everything we wanted and a welcome escape. The owner even left us a cream tea to enjoy whilst we were there. The only downside was we couldnât get the bottom oven to work whilst we were there but we managed to use the top oven anyway so not really a problem. Would definitely recommend to anyone!
