    The breakfast featured delicious artisan bread that was a real treat.

    The wait for food was excessively long, taking 45 minutes.

    spacious room
    cozy vibe
    quirky decor
    hot water issue
    plumbing delay

    The room was spacious and comfy with a nice four-poster bed. I liked the quirky old-school decor and charm of the place. It felt cozy with thick walls and a really relaxing vibe. the bathroom was great. Warm, with everything we needed. The only downside was a slight issue with the hot water in the shower.

    nature experience

    poor shower
    dinner times

    Beautiful waterfalls, unique badger watching experience, exceptional location for nature lovers

    A few improvements could really elevate the experience!!! Shower pressure barely rose to the occasion, and noisy disruptions from the bar area made it hard to unwind. Plus, who's closing the dinner service at 7:30? Really disappointing!!!

    amazing dining
    beautiful garden
    early closing hours

    We had such a fun time watching the badgers being fed each night and enjoyed a fabulous dinner with the best fish and chips I’ve ever had. The cozy lounge was perfect for relaxing after a long day, and the lovely garden area added to the charm. Just a heads up, the restaurant closed a bit early for our liking, but that didn’t ruin our stay! 😊

    cozy atmosphere
    badger spotting
    road noise
    long wait

    Oh mate, the artisan bread at breakfast was pure magic! Plus, the cozy atmosphere of the bar left me feeling right at home. Meeting the adorable badgers made the whole experience even sweeter!

    The room next to the road was a bit noisy during the day, and waiting 45 minutes for food was a bummer, but the scrummy dishes made it worth the wait.
