Everything within The Roost was great. Beds so comfortable and beautiful linen to. Living room really cute and the kitchen had everything, so much crockery, pans, etc for cooking. Waitrose for shopping not far away and Stratford Garden Centre is fab to, food in Cafe is excellent. A definite on the list for a return visit. Follow the owners directions for how to locate The Roost. They do work, albeit I didn't quite get there in the dark.
