We stayed here for a bike race, I would not stay again . Location was convenient but that was all it had going for it. I have stayed in a lot of B+B's and usually find them comfortable and much nicer than a hotel.... not here!
Our double room was 68.50 would have been OK if paying anything less than £40. It was small, the bed was too small for 2 people (although we are reasonably tall we arent 'big'). That said, it was at clean which is good and if you like TV there was a tele in the room.
To start off my dislike of this place, we arrived and were shown upstairs (ushered out of the way as they had guests dining in the room infront of the door). Shown to our small room and asked to fill out breakfast request slips- she asked 'what time would you like breakfast'.... we asked if it would be possible to get this early explaining we had to be out early to register for a race, and she said 'how early' we said half 7 and she said No, sorry breakfast is from 8 - 9.
On the website 'meals' page it states under the time slots for service 'Earlier or later by arrangement ie: when travelling' we thought that requesting breakfast at 7.30am which is only half an hour before their '1 hour window of opportunity' would be OK, it always has been in the past at B+B's (usually the attitude that flexibility is important when running a b+b) - especially when charging 68.50 for a very small double room!! Anyway, our host would not accommodate, not even 7.45am - just 15 mins early... She said 'no, we cant go making breakfast any time people ask for it'. She was stubborn and unhelpful and I began to get annoyed! We eventually negotiated that she would provide some cereal (2 small variety pack boxes and a piece of fruit were bought to us on a tray) not the ideal set up for a day's racing. We felt like we were causing her the greatest inconvenience anyone has ever suffered, a lovely way to feel when you are a paying guest at a bed and breakfast. We werent asking for anything too outrageous, and nothing that usually is friendly and happily accommodated with no fuss or bother.
The second reason I wouldnt stay is the TOTAL LACK OF SOUND PROOFING!!! Stable style doors which are about 1cm thick dont insulate sound, and it appears that the dividing walls are paper. We were kept awake for several hours with our neighborouging room jabbering away and brushing their teeth, flushing the toilet etc you could hear everything :S
The third is the tiny bed. It was a queen sized bed I think, not large enough for 2 of us :)
Shame to be writing a bad review, but I was pretty miffed about it! Certainly not the usual B+B from Farmstay which is where i found it.
