We only stayed for one-night but you have to give credit where it is due- hence why I am writing this review. The service that the old vicarage provided was excellent, the room was immaculate and the breakfast was spot-on. The pool was more than adequate, the sauna was toasty and jacuzzi nearly sent me to sleep! They are also... More

I was really excited about staying here after reading all the excellent reviews. In some ways it didn't quite stand up to my expectations but I have to say it excelled in others. The negatives first (and there are only a couple). The public areas are in need of refurbishment, the carpets and wallpaper are very outdated and there was... More

Myself and my heavily pregnant wife booked this place as a last weekend of fun before our life changed forever! The owners were excellent and made us feel very welcome, including a coffee and biscuits on arrival. The place was spotless, the pool and hot tub were brilliant and they made us and our dog extremely welcome (as well as... More

This is a large, beautiful house situated just on the edge of the town center with a very friendly & helpful staff (2nd generation.) Our room was very nice with ensuite bath and a view of the garden. The sun room and sitting room were comfortable for relaxing. The Garden was beautiful and a great place to relax (if it's... More

Gorgeous house in a gorgeous location - we are very happy we stayed here. The rooms were very comfortable - spring for the superior double to enjoy the whirlpool tub and larger room. The hosts were extremely charming and helpful without being intrusive, and breakfast was delicious. More

We have stayed at the old vicarage on quite a few occasions now and have had various rooms all of very high standard. The service is always very friendly and nothing is any bother. Although it is a b and b there's loads of space so its got all the advantages of staying in a hotel. There is a lovely... More

I booked this for my son and his Australian girlfriend visiting England for the first time. It was expensive, moreso than some hotels but sounded wonderful. I made a mistake over booking dates and the owner telephoned the day they were expected at 7pm, she did say she wished that she had telephoned earlier (my son was expected there by... More

We have just arrived back having spent three nights here. We were a little worried how it would be due to us taking our dog, lots of places that allow dogs tend not to be too clean. What a shock we got! Our room was lovely and spotlessly clean it was large with plenty room for the dogs crate, had... More

We had a lovely stay here for our wedding aniversary, the pool and hot tub are super, not your usual oversized bath tub. Unfortunately 1 night is not long enough to really relax and enjoy the facilities. The decor could be termed out dated but it is in keeping with the building and was very comfortable. Our bathroom was modern... More
