“We left feeling refreshed and very well fed!”

The best breakfast we've ever eaten at a B and B. Similarly with dinner. Anton and Philip clearly source their food very carefully and know their suppliers well. Shallowdale is a very peaceful place to stay; no background music and quiet at night. Never intrusive, Anton and Philip were perceptive hosts; we felt very well looked after.

We had such a good time I hesitate to find fault but if I had to mention anything, the bathroom was a bit tired - and it was across a corridor rather than en suite, although I should stress we were well aware of that when we booked.
Wonderful breakfast - outstanding. Careful service. Philip and Anton were charming hosts. They were extremely helpful with restaurant recommendations and produced a splendid tea and brownies (to die for with stem ginger) after a days walking. We were made to feel very welcome and loved our stay.

-Our Private bath was across the hall, roomy although awkward. Note this when choosing a room! -Beautiful outdoor spaces, but comfy garden furniture could make those wonderful areas more enjoyable. -Breakfast was a bit hurried....but very good.
Lovely place w/ a phenomenal view. Breakfast was very good and location was easy access to good restaurants and places to visit..
