Afraid that the room we used was very small, little or no draw wardrobe space and no ensuite, no wash facilities in the room - I was disappointed because I was unable to open the window for fresh air. I do prefer to sleep with an open window. very isolated spot down a single track - venue on the right in the road marked cul de sac. On the bright side a superb breakfast as per your requirements.
