Amazing stay!
Amazing stay, we booked as we were attending a wedding near by at LEEZ PRIORY this guest house it literally 5 minutes drive away. The hosts Tricia and Stan were fantastic and couldn’t be more helpful. They allowed us to check in early and Stan dropped us to the wedding in style so we did not need a taxi. Room was beautiful with everything you would need. The breakfast was at 9am by Tricia and we were truly waited on. Cannot recommend our stay here enough go ahead and book you will not be disappointed. We will be booking again.

5* overnight stay
The Laurels is a beautiful guest house with lovely friendly, welcoming owners who made you feel more like friends. The bed in room 3 was super comfy, the TV was larger than the normal tvs you get when away, the wet room was clean, warm and easy to use with underfloor heating, blackout blinds and curtains, clean air filter, TV, coffee selection with a mini fridge with fresh milk and filtered water. Breakfast was superb with fresh fruit, croissants, jam, marmalade, orange juice, tea, coffee, cereal and then a cooked breakfast. This is undoubtedly one of the best guest Houses I have stayed in and would highly recommend.

Great?
Great place, however. You share the house with the, quite particular owners. So be on you best behaviour. Prepare for the guided tour of your room (it takes a while). Lovely couple and its obviously a labour of love.
Stayed 1 night in Nov 2021
Response from Stan on 26 Nov 2021
Thank you for your review. Yes I particularly like the guided tour of your room. A couple of examples... It's possible you may have 6 different lighting circuits in your room. It's also not obvious that there is no traditional hot water tank in the house, and that type system can harbour bacteria. However we heat cold water instantaniously by passing it through a thermal store and that makes the hot water safe and bacteria free. I do think some people would like to know these things. And yes, while we could write it all down very few people would actually read it. We prefer the personal method of communication. We hope to see you again soon and then you wont need the "Guided Tour" :-) Regards Stan

From start to finish amazing. In the countless places I have ever stayed this was by far the cleanest, most welcoming and outstanding designed bedroom facilities I have ever encountered.

Hi John, Thank you for your very kind review. It's a pleasure to meet someone who is interested in design. We have spent a considerable amount of time money and effort (We did build the place ourselves) to achieve the final design result, and i am super pleased you appreciated the result. I am now working on the little tweak you suggested and it will be implemented soon. Hope to see you again soon. Stan

Wow....take me back
We were welcomed by Both Stan and Tricia who were very friendly and informative. The accommodation was second to none, clean, fresh, well equipped and high quality. Stan arranged a lift to and from our destination on the following morning and at a cheaper rate than a Taxi. Suggestions for a local pub for a bite to eat were welcome and lived up to expectations. Breakfast was absolutely spot on with lots of choices of quality locally sourced food. We would highly recommend to anyone looking for a quiet stay away from home. Nothing was too much trouble for this lovely couple who have thought of everything
