Harts Lane is so narrow, my partner hesitated pulling our car into the lane and then really had second thoughts about pulling into the tiny parking area. I was too busy loving everything I could see to care about that! Then, we walked into the bed and breakfast, where an out-of-breath Linda Smith greeted us warmly and apologized for not being ready. We didn't mind. After all, there were TWO pubs in one TINY village! ;) When we returned from our obligatory pub visit, Linda led us upstairs and to our room. Do you know how sometimes places look clean but don't smell clean? This clean room smelled GREAT! Then, I went into the bathroom. It was completely remodeled and very modern. I was in heaven! A quaint, clean bedroom with a clean modern shower! There was even a place for me to sit down in the bedroom and put on my makeup. I decided to use it for sitting down and reading a daily devotional, but just having this wonderful space was a plus. Did I mention there was a fireplace? The next morning, Linda cooked us "whatever we wanted." My partner happily ordered sausage and eggs, and I ordered bacon and eggs. While we waited, I looked around the family dining room. There were wonderful family pictures--Linda and Ian Smith's wedding pictures, their children, etc. My partner meanwhile marveled at his freshly squeezed orange juice and some of the woodwork in the room. Then, the food came. The bacon was the size of 4 American slices stuck together but a lot thicker. Everything was delicious, but after we ate, we felt like we needed a nap! If you go to this area of England, stay here! The Smiths are very congenial people, their accommodations are clean, their food is outstanding, and the village is picturesque. You'll swear you're in a movie.

The landlady is always very friendly, helpful and efficient, providing a welcoming, peaceful and comfortable environment. Breakfast is always on time and very filling. Parking area is good. Great location for walking and exploring the surrounding area. Very good indeed and great value for money. Highly recommended. I always look forward to returning, which I will do several times later in the year.

I've stayed here at least 6 times in the last 15 years & the standard of accommodation is 1st rate as are the cooked breakfasts - just the job to set up a day's walking, cycling or driving around this delightful island! Carol & Paul Hallums run The Lodge & go beyond the call of duty to make guests feel welcome & help advise on local events or attractions. Well worth a visit! There's a bus stop close by - Vectis Buses run a reliable service across the island & a week's pass that includes the open-top tour buses costs £20 each with family tickets also available.

The farmhouse itself is lovely, very warm, clean and comfortable and Charmaine and Chris couldn't have been more welcoming and friendly and breakfast was fresh and plentiful. I would love an excuse to stay there again. The only thing I would say to anyone planning to stay here is that you probably need to use a GPS unit to find it: it is right at the end of a very twisting single-track road but my old unit found it from the postcode without any problem.

I can't praise this place enough. Contemporary Regency decor for a sense of grandeur, Molton Brown amenities, heated towel racks, Hypnos luxury bedding, the best Eggs Benedict we had on our trip, organic cereals, a wide selection of premium Tiptree jams and curds, homemade fruit compote, perfectly fried bacon and sausages, gorgeous presentation, full French presses of excellent coffee, attentive service, organic peanut butter, different yogurts, plenty of fruit ... this place was a dream. Every square inch was spotless, and a private car park made it worth the safe and scenic 5-minute downhill walk to the town center. The hospitality was friendly, welcoming, personable, yet also professional. Huzzy and I agreed: we would come back to Bath just to stay here! Thank you James and Eliza for providing the best stay--even surpassing our Buckingham Palace hotel in London!--of our vacation.

When we arrived at the 139 in Bath, we were shown to the waiting room and served a nice beverage. The host knew exactly who we were and addressed us by name. We felt welcomed. The room was comfortable and beautiful- very classic in look. We had a great sleep on the bed, like I mentioned- comfortable room! Squeamish skip this paragraph... When I arrived in Bath I was deep into my trip and short on socks. The sock bag in my suitcase had reached critical mass and was going to be a new kind of 'Dirty Bomb'. When asked if the 139 had a washer and dryer, they said of course. They braved the bag. I got my socks back the next morning, folded. Thanks! Breakfast the next morning was wonderful- fresh eggs, great bacon, crunchy and chewy bread (ok so I'm not a food writer). Lots more options than a traditional eggs and bacon breakfast were available. Thanks 139 for a wonderful experience. It's been a couple years since we stayed, but the memory is fresh in my mind.

The staff was excellent and very accommodating, even offering breakfast a half hour early one morning so we could eat before our early departure.
