“The Best B&B we have ever stayed in!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 December 2011
2
people found this review helpful

We stayed in the Garden room, which in fact is a suite with a double bedroom and a sitting room. The sitting room also contained one single bed as our son was with us. The rooms were most comfortable, very clean and very well provisioned with toiletries, tea, coffee biscuits etc. The breakfasts were superb, fresh fruit salad, cereals and an extremely wide range of beautifully cooked breakfasts (over a dozen choices). The best B&B we have ever stayed in. The landlady was most friendly and helpful. We shall return.

We stayed 2 nights on our trip and could not fault it. Friendly, clean and the BEST SHOWER in England! Great room and only 10 minutes walk into the centre. Breakfast menu is huge with heaps of choices:) Value for money. Junction Hotel on High Great Western Road was a fav for evening meal.

“Lovely, friendly B&B/Guesthouse”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 September 2011

I knew it would be a great guest house (having not used Trip Advisor) just from making the booking when Joan was so warm and friendly, explaining her security of information she holds etc.

We arrived and were made welcome by being invited to make ourselves at home. Our room was Room 2, a twin room, with plenty of storage space for a longer stay than we were staying for. The beds were comfortable, the bathroom was well arranged (plenty of room in the shower without knocking knees, elbows etc) and the array of toileteries was almost confusing in its' choice. Joan keeps an honesty 'shop' for those last minute forgotten bits and pieces, including black socks!!!

The breakfasts were well and freshly cooked, tremendous choice of 15. I love the fact that there is a fridge in the hall for guests to use, milk and juice, and also a very comfortable guest lounge and Joan will bring you a teapot and jug for a very civilised take on tea!

Joan was extremely knowledgeable about the area, which included restaurants, places to go, local transport and the way to go in a couple of cases.

All in all a delightful stay. I went with a friend, but shall be taking my mother next year, to visit Maiden Castle (at the end of the road) as it says on the address!

“"The Best"”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 August 2011
1
person found this review helpful

The Best B & B I've ever stayed in. I do a lot of travelling and this was without doubt a benchmark B & B. It supplied everything I thought I needed and delighted by offering things I didn't know I wanted.

Will definitely stay there again.

Room Tip: I stayed in one of the two single rooms but all the rooms seemed nice and comfortable.
