A lovely room and a magnificent garden. Dee the host was a delight. For those who like a couple of pints with their evening meal the local pub is within easy walking distance and they have a lovely menu, a wide range of decent beers and friendly efficient staff. Intend to stay again sometime in the not too distant future.

A wonderful B&B treated like a good hotel. Mrs. Landlady was extremely kind, supportive and knowledgeable of her surroundings. We got many choices of interesting outings. Nice home cooked breakfast and gluten-free wasn’t a problem. The room was adorable and so the bathroom. The garden access was great and was more a park.
