Simply fabulous

Beautiful location. Fantastic views and great walks. Attention to detail in our room. Wine glasses, cork screw etc. Excellent toiletries. Best breakfast with plenty of variety that I have had in any B&B we have stayed in. Attentive host with lots of local information provided. Pub within walking distance 1.5 miles. I could go on and on. Very peaceful stay and would not hesitate to rebook

Wonderful

A lovely location and charming old house, modernised and extended but retaining old world character. Sally is a lovely, friendly and helpful host. Breakfasts are absolutely top rate. Cleanliness is perfect. Bathroom/shower could benefit from updating.

Stunning views, amazing house!

Sally was very welcoming and a great host! We stayed for two nights for a short weekend retreat, the views outside were stunning and the inside of the house was just as beautiful, everything was clean and tidy. If you are looking for somewhere to relax with peace this is definitely the place to go! We are definitely wanting to return again!

1st visit but I'll be back!

Both Sally and her husband were amazing hosts - very friendly and ensured that my stay provided me with everything that I needed and more! I wasn't going to have breakfast but changed my mind on arriving at the house and so glad I did. Fabulous mushroom omelette accompanied with toast. Only downside is that they close at the end of the month and reopen in spring so I'll just have to wait for my next stay!!! On the plus side this means that they get time with their family which is so important and values that I hold high too! Thank you so much for making me feel so welcome.

A place like home

Loved the place. Views from our room amazing Just a little bit dusty, but overall good quality toiletries and generous top notch biscuits with our tea tray. Breakfast lovely, shame about the tinned tomatoes instead of grilled tomatoes.
