Guest Reviews
- Melanie (10/5): Lovely stay in beautiful surroundings made possible by amazing hosts. - What an great find! Everything about or stay here was amazing. We were met by Peter and served coffee in the beautiful garden which was much needed after our four hour drive. The attention to detail was amazing, as was the breakfast the following morning. I can't speak highly enough of this B&B. Peter and David have thought of everything. Thank you and we hope to return at some point. Nothing could be any better. We loved everything about our stay.
- Michaela (10/5): Tranquil, relaxing and great quality service. - Property was beautiful, breakfast was amazing, hosts were great. The garden was absolutely beautiful, I was there early spring. The bathroom was very large and was a great addition to the room. I was reluctant to leave for work. I would re visit if I am in the area and needed a B&B. Quite honestly there is nothing that I dislike about the B&B. The attention to detail is very good, and the whole place is kept to a great standard. The Drive is slightly hard to enter from one angle, but really its not even worth complaining about. Loads of room to park once in the opening.
- Linley (10/5): Best B&B I’ve stayed in! - Beautiful property with a wonderful surrounding garden. The room was beautifully decorated, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. Breakfast was fabulous — absolutely delicious. It felt very welcoming, and I especially loved the location.

- Martin (10/5): Exquisite soothing retreat delicious breakfast perfect hosts. - Exquisite bespoke retreat. Peter's interior design talent shines through, his attention to detail, stylish clever choice of colour.The moment you step into the lovely conservatory filled with interesting plants you feel at home. This seamlessly blends with the tranquil English country garden filled with soothing layers, to rest your eyes upon. We ate our mid- summer breakfast cocooned amongst the plants, sun on our faces the sound of the pond and scent of the June roses setting us up for the day. The breakfast is indulgent , sheer quality with a great selection to suit any taste . I had a freshly prepared fruit salad with yogurt followed by eggs Florentine. Not forgetting the sourdough with lashings of David's homemade rhubarb and ginger jam. My well travelled husband commenting that this was the best Full English ever. Attention to detail is boundless , the crockery ( beautiful 🫖 teapots) the bedrooms , bedlinen and towels are immaculate with a comfortable matress for a restful nights sleep. Most of all our hosts were kind, attentive and witty. Peter even patiently listened whilst my husband nervously practised his " father of the bride speech" giving moral support when needed Superb value considering the quality of the ingredients used to create such a bespoke breakfast experience. Highly recommended. We loved every minute

The rooms are very well supplied and the bed was very comfortable. Highly recommended.

- Charlotte (10/5): Looking forward to coming back! - From the moment we arrived we felt exceptionally welcome.

The push for sustainability was very much noted, and carried out in an excellent manner - fresh water in stylish decanters instead of plastic bottles, wonderful!
