- FRANCES (10/5): Beautiful tranquil house, really enjoyed staying here. - A really great place to stay, the house and garden and conservatory are very beautiful and relaxing, breakfast was great and the owners are very helpful. The room was very well equipped and the place felt very safe. The room was quite small for two people and luggage for four nights. The bathroom is large and beautiful though. Everything else perfect!
- Natalia (8/5): Lovely guesthouse - Philip and Sandra are wonderful hosts, we felt very welcomed. The house is a beautiful old English Victorian mansion, lovingly decorated by the owners. Garden offering shadows under the trees is an additional bonus. Our room was a bit small and water did not drain well in the shower.

The breakfast was amazing and there was good value for money. It was well located and easily accessible. The internet was good and the house was very clean. The host kept in contact and the house was quiet and scenic. I think the beds could be a little bigger but everything else was good.

- Annelies (10/5): Exceptional - This is an amazing place, with extremely warm and friendly people. The rooms are spacious and breakfast was outstanding. I loved the stylish Victorian house and in particular the family-like atmosphere. Little things made the difference, like the fruit offerend upon arrival, the magazines to read in the room, or the newspaper at the breakfast table. I felt very welcome and will definitely come back. I cannot think of anything. Too bad that it was not warm enough the enjoy the garden and the swimming pool.
