I was on a business trip and we chose to use this bed and breakfast for our stay; it is a decision that we will never regret. The owners are pleasant and are a great laugh and very warm and welcoming, you couldn't ask for nicer people. They helped us out by providing us with a Taxi number for when... More

We stayed for one night in April. This is an excellent B&B. The rooms are lovely and spotlessly clean. The bathroom was modern. Breakfast was great. The owners are exactly the right sort of people to be running a B&B business - friendly and with good knowledge of the area. They recommended the local pub (The Bull?) for an evening... More
