"Has to be done if you're a Morgan or classic car aficionado or just looking for something different."

8.0

Great character, superbly done, unlike anywhere else that you're likely to stay. The Diner is well stocked with breakfast items and can be used for take-away dinners. Also enjoyed viewing the Morgan collection.

"Not your average B&B!"

10.0

It was the most fantastic place to stay. Instructions on arrival were very clear, so we were able to access the property easily. (We didn't arrive until mid evening, so unfortunately no-one was there to greet us.) We were celebrating our anniversary and on arrival, under the written instructions, we were told a bottle of wine was waiting in the fridge for us, which was a lovely thought. We did meet Mel the next morning , who was so lovely and friendly. The room was nice, clean and comfortable. Everything was tastefully decorated, not over the top. We were able to access the kitchen (which was a fabulously decorated 50's diner!) 24/7 and help ourselves to anything we wanted. Again, clear instructions for everything. It really felt like home from home. We liked the fact that it was DIY, so there were no time restrictions for breakfast. You just went in and made your own at whatever time you liked. That might not be to some people's taste, as usually at B&B's it's made for you. So if you're hoping for that service, you'll be disappointed. But we weren't! We loved it. The accommodation was all centred around a functioning Morgan car business featuring some really beautiful cars in the garages. The only teeny tiny downside was there aren't many places to go within walking distance. However, if you are willing to walk about a mile down the road, there is a great little pub called The George, which serves lovely food (on selected days). We ate there on a Friday and returned for (lots!) more drinks on the Saturday. The other option is The Thatchers pub, which is a 5 min drive away. Alternatively, you are allowed to have takeaway delivered to the B&B. This place was a great place to stay in, and I would most definitely like to visit again. 😊

There weren't many places within walking distance to visit. But this did not spoil our time here.

"Fabulous, Morgan branded place to stay and handy for the airport"

9.0

Extremely friendly and helpful hosts (Mel & Sindy), beautiful & immaculately kept motoring branding, dark & quiet bedroom with classy bed linen, well equipped bathroom, the diner (wow! worth staying just to see this) both as a 24 hour facility and a relaxing place to be outside the bedroom, great choice of cereals and teas for breakfast. Excellent recommendation of local pub ( The Thatchers) for an evening meal.

This is more of a quibble: although we would have preferred a cooked breakfast, the DIY arrangement turned out fine as we had plenty of time before our flight. A few extra ingredients would have been appreciated. We would be happy to return and recommend to others.
