Comfortable and Friendly

Liked: Ian and Jo were very welcoming and friendly. My request for an early breakfast was accommodated and they both helped me to get off early to catch my train. My room was lovely and clean and I had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. I arrived tired and hungry after cycling 40 miles, I left the following morning well rested and refreshed.
Disliked: I didn't dislike anything!
