    Nothing to dislike really. A lighter option for breakfast such as fruit and yogurt would have been welcome for our 3 night stay. Loved the full English though, so I'm nit -picking.

    Plenty of parking, free WiFi, beds comfortable, nice view from the bedroom.

    Nothing of any importance

    We had a very pleasant room overlooking the garden and the fields beyond, with breakfast served just at the bottom of our stairs in a nice dining room. Breakfast was cooked to order and was excellent. We also paid for dinner on the first night to celebrate a birthday which was exceptionally good, chosen from various Cordon Bleu dishes that Claire suggested and cooked for us, an all round memorable stay, even the weather was adequate !

    Signage was too small to see from the busy road, had to turn round and go back. Wouldn’t be a problem on further visits as you know where it is. Difficult to spot when driving on your own.

    Breakfast choice was varied , presented well and cooked well. Had our own key to get in late at night after a dinner dance. Couple were friendly but professional. Home from home. Would definitely stay there again.

    Could have had a more noticeable sign at the gate. Had to go down to obtain replenishments for drink making on second day.

    Scenic view from the very comfortable bedroom window. Quite country location. Excellent choice at breakfast. Clean and tidy, friendly proprietors

    The cooked breakfasts were delicious and beautifully presented but on a four night stay I would have liked other options such as fresh fruit and yoghurt

    The location was beautiful but a little difficult to find on a road without numbers. I found it in the fourth pass as the traffic would not let me drive slowly and the black sign did not stand out against the hedge.

    Maybe it was a hangover from Covid or her three tennis matches in four days but Claire seemed not to have the time to chat that many of our previous hosts have. Not sure if that should actually count as a criticism.

    The meals were excellent. We had an additional evening meal. Claire's Cordon Bleu cooking was fully evidenced. Alpheton itself is very small and we travelled a few miles one evening to eat at The Manger in Bradfield Combust and thought it probably the best pub restaurant we have ever visited. Stay enlivened by Claire's dogs and chickens which meant a range of fresh egg dishes.
