Wonderful accommodation could not fault it - clean, cosy, warm, everything we needed.

Key Safe a little difficult to manage - tricky to handle buttons! Could have also done with a spare set of keys! Would definitely stay at Friar’s Roost again.

Spent a week with family & 2 dogs.

Ideal location for town, walks and bus links so did not have to use the car all week. Beds comfortable and gave a good nights sleep. Lounge was also comfortable with enough seating for everyone. Just a couple of points, there is parking but tight if you have a big / estate car you would struggle to fit on the driveway. A little bit of maintenance required especially on flooring as you enter in the back door as parts are stuck down with black tape. Some of the pans could do with being replaced. Also lack of welcome pack, there was basic tea/ coffee/ milk sachets only. Would definitely stay again though.
