Nice room let down by a dripping toilet

Nice clean comfy room, well specced with nice decor, however I booked a room with bed and seperate sofa bed but the room I was given was not this. It just had 1 king size bed. The whole stay was let down by a dripping toilet in the bathroom which went on all night and kept me awake. Very annoying.

Only issues were that i booked via third party which included breakfast but the staff didnt know that though they honoured it when i explained; the room though a double was really small with little privacy in using the bathroom and no bath which the photos had indicated; there really ought to be nets or blinds on the windows as they overlook the carpark, and the sheets kept coming off the mattress! Otherwise all great!! Would stay again but book directly and ensure a bigger room and a bath. :)

A place to come back to

Stayed before. Easy check in. Room very nice. Ate in restaurant first night. Very good meal however service was a little slow. Near to where we wanted to visit so will use again. Pleasent location in centre of nice village by the pond. There is an outdoor seating area but we didn't use it during our stay.
