We had an amazing stay. Everything about South Shire was perfect. It is beautifully decorated and furnished. They were very accommodating for our late arrival. We stayed in the Hayloft room in the carriage house and the bed felt like we were sleeping on a cloud. We look forward to staying again soon.

Went here for an anniversary trip with my husband. Check in was from 3-7 pm, we arrived around 6 pm. We dropped off our bags and went out. By the time that we got back and went to bed, I discovered that there wasn't a top sheet on our bed. The next morning, I spoke with the owner and he confirmed w/housekeeping that they had run out of top sheets. How does this happen in such a "small hotel"?! At this point, I had also noticed a very dirty toilet base, with urine and dust, like it hadn't been wiped down in some time. YUCK!! On my way back to my room, I passed a young girl who was part of the housekeeping team. I showed her the base of the toilet and asked her to put a top sheet on our bed. We requested housekeeping duties for our room and left for the day. Upon our return late that night, the top sheet was on and our toilet had been wiped down but all of our dirty towels were still on the bathroom floor. Additionally, the empty toilet paper roll was left on the stand. With no clean towels in the bathroom, we had to actually find someone (in the kitchen) who had to locate clean towels for us. Overall, a very disappointing stay.......

Unique stay. We enjoyed it. Of note, no reception past 7p. We didnt realize enough bath towels were provided until after 7p and therefore nothing could be done. The appliance with usb charging capability didnt work. I mentioned this to the manager in the am but he dodnt seem to care.

Housekeeping not up to par, dusty, bathroom floor not mopped, ancient upholstery in room and public area lumpy, felt springs, not comfortable. Staff was pleasant and helpful. The B&B does not include breakfast! Breakfast and dining pricey and exotic, so not used. We are not walkers, but area very walkable. Knowledge of off season closures a problem.
