- "What a lovely place to stay. It was very clean and the bed so comfortable I slept very well. It had a homely feel and the owners were very friendly. There were lots of small touches in the room too. My dog Moly came and was warmly welcomed. The breakfast was outstanding and all of this was great value too." - "Probably one of, if not the nicest B&Bs we've ever stayed in. Where do I begin. The room was so clean and warm, with a heated towel rail in the bathroom. Egyptian cotton bedding and a comfy bed. Little touches that make a place extra special like biscuits and a bar of chocolate with tea, coffee and water. Even a little fridge. The owners were so lovely, as was the breakfast.
