Disliked: Staff & service
I could not contact The Sawmills (at 9:32pm) to say that I had arrived as their phone contact number was turned off. I tried unsuccessfully for half an hour. This resulted in a wasted overall journey time of over four hours plus the cost of fuel. Very frustrating and disappointing.

Lovely room apart from the constant noise from what may have been a boiler or extractor. We stayed 2 nights and the complimentary breakfast of fruit & croissants could not be faulted. Tea/coffee and even 2 hot chocolate drinks were useful but only 4 cartons of milk meant drinks were rationed. Unfortunately we left each day before the Inn opened and arrived back after closing so did not see any staff to request more. It would have been useful to be told that staff would not visit our room during our stay to replenish used items.

This was a disappointing experience. My room had recently been renovated and was large and clean but the bathroom ridiculously small with the smallest shower area possible. There was no soap in the dispenser which was meant to serve both sink and shower. Suppose that is one advantage of a micro bathroom. Soap issue resolved by friendly member of staff. Biggest disappointment was NO breakfast! Just a small croissant, an orange and an apple left outside the room supplemented by the most awful porridge in a pot and cheapest instant Nescafé. Unacceptable for £100!

Did like, the bar & food on the pricey side, but very good, food choice excellent. Parking very good. Didn't like, no breakfast (but at there sister place 15 minutes away) all they offered was fruit, instant porridge, plus one croissant. In room three you have to sit on the toilet as the roof slopes in over it. No double quilt only 2 singles.
