What people say

The service was unbelievable - from the moment you step into the BandB you are made to feel so welcome. The rooms are beyond comfortable and include lots of little touches such as heaters in the bathrooms and pillow-top mattresses on the bed. As soon as you arrive, you are given fresh, home-made scones, danishes, and fresh tea and coffee. Wonderful service from a wonderful BandB!. The staff were very friendly. Hot tea, coffee and cakes on arrival were lovely. The breakfasts were brilliant, with as much as you could eat. The room was great with a big king size bed and very clean, also with fruit in the room. Absolutely brilliant stay.
