Internet service was patchy in room and at times downstairs. Spoke to host and it is something they are trying to improve with boosters or such. Its a big house with thick walls so not unusual.
Very warm and friendly host. Easy and fast check in. Front facing room was large, clean and very comfortable, with good en-suite. Very light due to full length windows. Excellent cooked breakfast in roomy and light dining room. Parking or on road is easily available. Quiet street.

“Absolutely horrible experience in every way!”
- • Leisure trip

- • Double Room with Private Bathroom
- • Stayed 2 nights
We arrived on the Friday and the greeting was poor. We were just shown to a room and left. The Hosts "Friendly nature" as per the reviews was virtually non existent. We had no choice on what we could choose for a cooked breakfast. The sausage was disgusting. I would have preferred the option of brown toast and poached eggs. We were just given white toast and oily fried eggs. Breakfast was an extra £8pp per day and frankly wasn't worth anything. Decorative state of the room was poor. Wrinkled and flaking wall paper. Room had been painted magnolia with only some of the paper stripped off. Skirting boards were chipped and dirty on the top. Floorboards creaked. One of the bulbs wasn't working in the centre light and there was a cobweb hanging from the ceiling. We booked a double bed but it was 2 single beds pushed together. The beds were hard and lumpy. The curtains were hanging on with 2 or 3 hooks and were miles to long for the opening. Bathroom:- My partner could have a decent hot shower and on the first night the hot water ran out. The tiny sink had, in comparison to it's size, a massive shelf above it meaning I couldn't get my face over the bowl when washing or cleaning my teeth. I will be contacting the B&B owner to see what she has to say for herself. Suffice to say, we will not be stopping there again or recommending it. Very, Very dissapointed after spending £162!!
Nothing to be honest!

“You couldn't get nicer customer service.”

There were some awkward positioned parts to the room. We had to stretch down behind a cabinet to plug in a hair straightener. We had no access to turn the heating down. It was totally covered up and had to be removed to be removed in order to adjust. There was a "no smoking" sign on the door but the room smelled very strongly of smoke, as well as the hall when I first entered the house.
Staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was nice and comfortable. Even though parking was on the main road it was quite easy to park the car.

Nothing but if I was to be very picky, there were no dimming light or lamp so the lighting was either very bright (lights on) or pitch black (lights off) but not a massive issue
Room was very nice, bed was comfortable, shower was excellent, tea and coffee supplied, host very welcoming... and all at a very good price!
