Superb

Liked: We very much enjoyed our three night stay at The Willows. Carol was very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. There was a varied choice for breakfast and Carol does a very good afternoon tea. The room was very comfortable and well-appointed and the decor was tasteful. Highly recommended.
Disliked: Nothing.

We loved our stay here

Liked: We just stayed for one night en route to visit my brother. This was a perfect place for us, clean, quiet and comfortable. Carol went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed. We will certainly stay again if we are in the area.

Good

Liked: A beautiful property, delicious breakfast, and a lovely host.
Disliked: We were unable to shower as the thermostat seemed stuck on high. Our host was very apologetic and offered a £10 refund, which we did not accept it as we felt she was not to blame. Somewhere to put our suitcase rather than on the floor would have been easier for my disabled husband.
