Homely atmosphere

A private, luxurious house with upstairs rooms where guests and the owner sleep. The host is very friendly and will explain everything to you, including how to use the light switches. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. It's the perfect place for someone who enjoys a homely atmosphere.

Great house with delicious breakfast!

My friend and I had a wonderful stay! Great value with the large yummy breakfast cooked for us. Our only regret is that we didn’t have time to enjoy it more and chat more with Stan, but we had a morning flight to catch. They were very accommodating to our departure time. They also provided a great dinner recommendation where the locals go.

Stan’s the man!

We found our stay at The Laurels perfect. Stan and his wife made us feel very welcome and their home was beautiful (with more improvements still to come!) Our room was lovely and had everything you needed, kettle, Dyson fan, tv etc. The shower was also very good!l and bed super comfy. The breakfast spread in the morning was also very well received. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic B&B. Beautiful room, really comfy bed. Hosts were lovely and the breakfast was magic; a fine selection of buffet items plus a freshly cooked fry up. 11 out of 10, I really hope I'm nearby in the future for another visit. Oh, nearly forgot, the place they recommended for my evening meal was great as well.
