charming stay
delicious lunch family bike
I had a good lunch in the esme tea room. my husband chose the agister forest board and raved about the scotch egg. He said it was amazing, i tried a bite! i also recommend the carrot cake, it was a nice treat after our family bike ride.
The room i stayed in felt a bit small. It wasn't a huge issue, but noticeable. also, the noise from the coffee shop in the mornings was a bit disruptive. i could hear staff talking quite clearly.

The breakfast service is located in the charming esme's tearoom. They presented all food in a beautiful manner. afternoon tea is also available, complete with amazing cakes and served in a spacious tea garden. this setup added a unique touch to the dining experience.

cosy stay
great location daily cleaning helpful staff
the location near the station was good. rooms was cleaned daily. i found the staff very helpful. the tearoom provided an excellent breakfast, i could walk to various pubs and restaurants within minutes.
the bathroom sink drained slowly. it needed repair and painting, so it looked a bit worn. i feel it's important to maintain bathroom functionality.
