I stayed in the Red Rooster room (before the renovation). The cottage itself is nice but really dark at night. It has a cool loft bedroom BUT I couldn't sleep there either due to barking dogsacross the street and if you close all the slat windows it's too hot. Also we were under the impression there was breakfast included but there was not. I think it was 2008 when we stayed there so things might have changed.
I did love the grounds and the grotto. If you are into rustic cabins and don't mind the noise or going off property for every meal it's cool.
Also the noise from Ricks was only around sunset after that it's all street noise!!
I would stay there again knowing what I know now but in one of the sea front cottages only!!
