We arrived late due to travel delays but Leon more than graciously allowed us to check in at about 1030pm. He was there at the door with a quick introduction of his finely appointed guest house. The decor throughout the house is impressive. Not a detail is spared or forgotten. We stayed in a suite which would've accommodated a couple... More

We have just spent 2 nights at this excellent guest house. Comfortable, clean, well maintained room with a touch of luxury. Not just Coffee and biscuits but fresh fruit awaited us in our room. Luxurious toiletries and bathrobes to relax in. Breakfast was a mammoth task with so much to choose from i was in danger of never getting up... More

My husband stayed here last year when he completed the C2C cycling challenge. he came back raving about how brilliant the place was and couldn't get over how friendly and helpful Leon and his wife were. He decided that we should go again for a short break so i could see for myself. We were greeted by a warm welcome... More

Must second all the excellent reviews. My sister, daughter and I traveled by train from London for a weekend stay in early March. Welcomed by Leon with a pot of tea and slices of cake. We had a twin and a single room, the twin overlooked a churchyard, very scenic. Although the rooms were not large, they were well appointed... More

Tremendous - right from the moment I stepped through the door. I arrived on two wheels, dirty, wet and pretty cold, to be greeted by warmth and comfort - and that's just the owners. Clearly take pride in their business, and have high standards which they clearly maintain even if they are only catering for one guest on that particular... More

I've never been inclined to write a review for a one night stay before but this was exceptional from the very first warm welcome to the heartfelt goodbye. Everything was immaculate and well thought through. There wasn't a massive amount of space in the room but then the 4 poster bed was super comfortable. Plenty of choice for breakfast and... More

Having read reviews on TA we decided to book an overnight stay following our wedding in Gretna Green back in October 2012. FANTASTIC. This small guest house is on a lovely street close to the town centre. We honestly could not fault a thing. We booked the room with the four poster bed, it was very well appointed, beautifully decorated... More

We stayed here on the Coast to Coast cycle trip from Whitehaven to Sunderland in September. The hosts are very friendly, geared up for cyclists and have secure storage to lock all your bikes. I had a single room which, although small had been designed in such a fashion that I had space for all I needed. Shower was good.... More

A warm welcome was the start of an excellent stay. The room was warm, spotlessly clean and attractively decorated with a comfortable bed. There was a hairdryer, alarm clock, big TV and a drinks tray with daily biscuits. The bathroom had a powerful shower and designer toiletries, also a bath robe. Breakfast was amazing - lots of choice from cereals,... More

Superb B&B. The rooms are extremely comfortable and really nicely decorated. The ensuite facilities are terrific and well finished to a high standard. The whole building is immaculate kept and very welcoming. Finally, breakfast! Simply the best breakfast ever, all the freshest local produce and cooked to perfection. Selection of fresh fruit and cereals available are lovely too.
