Norman, United Kingdom

THE STAFF WERE REALLY FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL. GAVE US INFORMATION ABOUT THE LOCAL BUSES WITH THE BUS STOP JUST OUTSIDE THE DOOR. (CHEAPER TO GET THE BUS FOR 2 THAN PAY FOR CAR PARKING IN THE CITY CENTRE FOR THE DAY), ALSO SUGGESTED WALKING TOURS AROUND THE CITY AND PLACES TO VISIT, EVENING MEALS WERE WELL MADE AND DELICIOUS.

Caroline, United Kingdom

The lady who owned the B&B was more than helpful, exceeding expectations by writing down the bus times and also giving us a map, which was extremely helpful. The room was beautiful and breakfast was delicious, a huge selection of fruit and cereals.

I did not think she could do anything better, the whole experience was lovely. Just a minor thing on my part that the mattress wasn't to my taste and I didn't find it comfortable but I completely understand that these are personal preferences.

Full English breakfast would have been an added bonus on a Sunday morning, that is just my personal preference, I am not slating the huge choice of breakfast that was supplied.
