Quiet location, excellent hosts, made us feel welcome and well looked after. The bed linen got a special thumbs up from my wife. Spotless and comfortable. Breakfast specially prepared with eggs from the house chicken. We will come back when visiting the area.

"An excellent B & B and good value and with extremely friendly hosts"

10.0

This B & B is a rare find. The room was spacious, airy and the facilities were excellent, it being bright and clean and modern. Our hosts were very friendly and approachable and we enjoyed our chat at breakfast. The dining room for breakfast was spacious, and modern with comfortable chairs and the breakfast itself, was prepared with thoughtfulness and care and tailored to our individual needs. Excellent. Well done Chris and Diane. The location was peaceful which we appreciated.

The location is a little isolated and the approach roads are narrow. However, this might not necessarily be an issue for those that wish to spend time walking the locality. We were just passing through so we’re not able to explore.

The hosts of this B&B were amazing - so attentive and friendly wanting to know about our plans for the day. The room was unbelievable. You won’t be disappointed by the breakfast - plentiful and tasty. The tasty homemade biscuits left in the room was a delightful surprise

There is nothing we didn’t like

"Happy to return and have already booked a return stay."

8.0

Our hosts were welcoming and friendly. Our room was very spacious as was the shower room. It was good to have two comfortable chairs in the room Lovely breakfast and a lovely dining room in which to eat. We enjoyed the company of Chris who prepared our breakfast.

Our room felt cold. The approach road (from the A49 of approx 3 miles) is narrow.
