"Thoroughly enjoyable."

Location, cleanliness, comfort, friendliness of Peter & Helen - nothing was too much trouble for them. Breakfast was so lovely, everything fresh and lots of homemade items which were excellent, including Helen’s delicious cakes which we enjoyed in the lovely garden. Peter & Helen are excellent hosts and we wouldn’t hesitate to return. We would highly recommend a visit to The Somerville.
