A superb 4 night stay was enjoyed in an exceptionally quiet location with the guaranteed highlight of the wonderful Cleavers Lyng breakfasts! Good wifi and safe parking.

Peakyb10 Switzerland

The room and all areas were immaculate, not a single cobweb in site. Furniture fitted in with the age of the property. Plenty of parking and a lovely place to sit and look over the fields. The breakfast offered was great and I have to say the cooked breakfasts were outstanding.

Susan United Kingdom

How quiet it was and how it had wooden beams . Character of the property

Emma United Kingdom

great location great breakfast and a great night’s sleep

Terry United Kingdom

A wonderfully peaceful location. The property was sympathetically furnished to the age of the original house (1577). Warm and cosy with comfortable public lounge/dining area.The room had little touches that made it feel like a five star hotel, in fact exceeded some 5star hotels we have stayed in. Breakfast was generous and delicious, again as good as some topnotch hotels.

Marilyn United Kingdom
