Vickie was extremely welcoming and friendly - a fabulous host. We arrived earlier than the check in time and our room was all ready for us. Our breakfast was cooked fresh in the morning after we had completed a menu left in our room with a choice of eggs and other options for breakfast! Our room was spotless, our bed was very comfy and the bathroom was very clean too. Abbey house was spotless, homely and cosy. The location is perfect and we were able to park our car in the car park at the back of the guest house. Lovely B and B, we will definitely be back.

Vickie was a brilliant host, nothing was too much trouble and we were made very welcome. A friend and I stayed three nights whilst cycling the C2C route. Secure shed storage is available for the bikes and car parking was readily available outside Abbey House. The rooms and bed are very comfortable with good facilities on offer. Breakfast was fab and the breakfast room bright and modern. The town is two minutes walk away. Highly recommended.
