"Well worth a stay would highly recommend"

10.0

Well, what a wonderful place, the owner Carol was definitely doing the job she is supposed to be doing what I mean is she is just the most wonderful, kind, helpful, accommodating, caring lady we have had the pleasure of staying with. She is such a lovely person and nothing is too much for her, she goes above and beyond to get things just perfect for your stay. Her homemade breakfast and afternoon tea are exceptional and keep you wanting more. Carol will be on hand to help with anything be it a question about a place to have dinner or a place to visit while staying with her, nothing is too much. It felt like we had just popped in to visit a family member. The room was quaint, clean and so cute, it had a wonderful hot shower and the bed was just so comfortable. Carol made sure we had clean bedding every 2nd day and also put our towels in the dryer to make sure they were dry for us when it came to using them again. Like I said it was just a perfect little place to stay and nothing was too much for Carol. We are definitely going back next year and would highly recommend it if you do go to the area as The Willows Tea Room is the best B&B we have stayed in 100%. Thank you Carol for making our stay so special you are the best big hugs Sharon & Julie xxx

We very much enjoyed our three night stay at The Willows. Carol was very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. There was a varied choice for breakfast and Carol does a very good afternoon tea. The room was very comfortable and well-appointed and the decor was tasteful. Highly recommended.
