    Not much to say

    The room was quite spacious, and the bed was comfy. We loved the four posters with Victorian details. The lighting was good, and the wide-screen TV was quite nice. The owner was more than pleased to allow us to take a nice stroll after our amazingly delicious breakfast. Overall, it was a memorable stay as newlyweds, and we will definitely be returning.💯

    The room was excellent - comfortable and well appointed. The drawers could have done with a bit of a hoover but it was really such a small thing. We had a great stay.

    We received such a warm welcome at the B&B - with friendly suggestions for things to do in the area, and restaurants to try in town. We really felt well looked after and had the feeling of being amongst friends (helped by chats with other guests) which made our breakfasts very enjoyable. The eggs which were very locally hatched due to the hens in the grounds. We also liked the goats (not eaten).

    The bath plug was missing a rubber loop, but was still a fairly good seal so didn't notice the slow drop in water level until a moderate amount had drained (topping up with hot water solved the issue). Was a shame I was working long shifts that I didn't get to spend more time at the hotel!

    Countryside view from the window, comfortable bed, en-suite with bath (nice to soak in after a 12 hour shift), Sky TV in the room. Little touches like a selection of books to read and small kitchen available with fridge that can be used to store packed lunches. Has a living room area for use by the guests with wide selection of books, CDs, even pool table!
