I had a lovely room, breakfast was enjoyable and I felt well looked after. I was disappointed though that I was unable to watch TV as was told there was something wrong with the remote control. They were unable to rectify this during my 3 night stay.

Had a wonderful warm welcome from John when we arrived. Lovely garden to sit in. Not only were the breakfasts great but we were welcomed back from our day out with home baked cake. Would definitely recommend and can’t wait to go back.

Fabulous B&B

Nothing was too much trouble and breakfast is fantastic with lots of choice. We had a quiet room at the back but it is very cramped, my only reason for not giving 5 for everything

Why wouldn’t you stay here? Recommend.

Lovely hosts, comfortable room and fantastic breakfast (only gripe 9pm latest serving) - the accommodation is walking distance from anything we needed (no more than 20 mins). I would certainly return.
