The welcome was excellent. The room was lovely, not sure if there was a wardrobe as I didn’t find one. Parking was well organised with plenty of room although not really sure it warrants £5 per night as it’s a private car park. Near to park and ride so that was appealing. All in all a great two days stay, thank you.

Loved the romantic room as the size was amazing. A quiet location with stunning views and we loved sitting there with a cuppa and relaxing. Easy parking. Bed was comfy. Clean bathroom. We appreciated the friendly reception and close walking distance to the park and ride. This made it an excellent location.

Efficient receptionist who booked us in with ease.
Rectory Farm was lovely, set in it's own grounds. Easier to find than I thought.
Only stayed 1 night, but wished it was longer.
Room was very comfy in one of the annexes.
Didn't sample the breakfast as needed to be on our way quickly.
Would definitely stay again.
