The bed was really comfortable. Breakfast was cooked to order and got me off to a great start.

Micki United Kingdom

Room was great. Proprietors were exceptional. Breakfast choices were phenomenal plus the view of the garden; simply the best. I’ve lived here in the UK for 3 years, in Hawaiian terms, No Ka Oi!

Greg United States of America

I thoroughly enjoyed my four day stay here. Lovely period property in a great location (short walk into town). The room was absolutely lovely and exceeded my expectations. The room was very clean with beautiful period furniture. The atmosphere cosy and inviting. However what really surprised me was how amazing the breakfast was. I have stayed in many hotels across the world and this was truly one of the nicest breakfasts I have had - beautifully cooked fresh local produce clearly made with the heart and soul. They even had home made bread! Sarah and Deano were wonderful hosts when went to great lengths to ensure my stay was covid safe but still relaxing and enjoyable. Thank you. I would definitely stay here again.

Shalagh United Arab Emirates

Very clean and excellent cake as well as breakfast. Lovely couple runs the place. They even helped us out with laundry. Great location close to city center as well.

Anonymous United States of America

A wonderful welcome, very comfortable bed in a beautiful house. Breakfasts were amazing. All local produce, kept me going till tea.

Carol United Kingdom

Breakfast was fantastic. Granola, yoghurt, compote, toast all homemade and delicious. It was beautifully cooked, I couldn’t stop eating. Sarah was a lovely kind helpful host. She is also a fabulous artist with her stunning artwork adorning the walls.

Tansy United Kingdom

Nice comfortable bed. Provided cereal and toast plus tea at 5.30 in the morning because I had to get to the start of a sponsored walk which I wasn't expecting. Normal breakfast the following morning was very nice. Chatty hosts made the whole thing even better.

Jonathan United Kingdom

very friendly hosts, excellent breakfast, bike shed

Johannes Germany

Very comfortable bed, lovely hosts who made me feel really welcome despite it being a one-night stay - nothing was too much trouble - real milk for your room (as opposed to UHT - just brilliant). The room was clean and the towels very good quality. There was a nice lounge too (although I never sat in it it, it looked comfy)

Nicole United Kingdom

Comfortable beds, good breakfast, owners very friendly, easy to talk to, very hospitable and the house steeped in history. Eco friendly. Clean and tidy. Loved it.
