Working over the bank holiday so very tired when I turned up. Staff were super helpful and friendly. Room was clean and bed was comfy. Included breakfast was the icing on the cake. Would stay again.

I had a pleasant stay here just overnight. The staff could not have been better and were very friendly and helpful. Plenty of free parking. Situated in a lovely quiet village. Food was excellent. Only issue was the bed, the mattress desperately needs replacing. The shower made a noise like a hoover but the water temperature was fine.

The staff were excellent; parking was no problem, and the shower was good, but I found the mattress to be very uncomfortable - I could feel every spring.

Great small town B&B with friendly staff.

This is a very small property, with only 6 rooms. I like the location, the breakfast in the morning, and the staff. Always willing to help and friendly. Also, the bed has the best duvets you can find. Not sure why that makes it so great, but always rest well here.

Dodgy window blind!

Staff friendly, food was good. Unfortunately the blind in the room didn’t cover the bottom inch of the window allowing anyone to look straight in onto the bed, very uncomfortable nights sleep knowing that people could see you! Also bright green safety exit light above door is too bright!
