Margaret was a wonderful host. She was very safety conscious and even took our COVID tests to the post office for us. A wonderful host and property!

Sarah United States of America

Helen was a kind hostess. She transported some of our party to a local restaurant in her own car. We were grateful for her generosity.

Karen United States of America

very good stay. comfortable bed, quiet location, great host couldn’t be friendlier

Frankie United Kingdom

Peaceful location even though very close to dual carriageway. Slightly awkward to get to by car, but good access to country parks and cycle network. Good variety of breakfast

Heather United Kingdom

very friendly and accommodating. very comfortable room.

Michael United Kingdom

Even though it’s by a main highway you cannot hear any traffic; and also the rooms are lovely and modern. The B n B is also close to amenities and attractions. The owners were also very lovely and welcoming. I will defiantly be staying here again if I am this way.

Jodie United Kingdom

Everything went well, once our satnav found the correct location ... The landlady was so kind as to book a table at a restaurant in town and even drove us to the place. Excellent choice, by the way ... Very comfortable rooms and beds, excellent breakfast. What more can one want?

Jan Belgium

Margaret couldn't have been more welcoming. She took great pains to ensure everything was to my liking from the comfort and facilities in my room to the lovely breakfast in the morning.

Elizabeth United Kingdom

It was quiet, v comfortable- great nights sleep, the owner was very welcoming and helpful, and there was good access to the main road.

Mette United Kingdom

On top of this being a brilliant location, tremendous accommodation with warm and convivial hosting by Margaret, it's pretty special to know that by staying at Nethermains House you are also supporting good works in the local community.
