I thoroughly recommend this B&B…read more Rosemary (the owner) is very welcoming, and makes you feel as if you've known each other for years. The building is a beautifully converted barn on a dead-end country road, with central breakfast area and a galleried upper floor. Every fitting and piece of furniture is of the best quality, and the beds are very comfortable. In spite of a bereavement in her close family just days before our arrival (of which we were unaware), and having to look after another relative on the night of our stay, Rosemary found time to surprise us with a lovely warm fruit compote to have with our breakfast, having placed it in the Aga the evening before. Anyone reading this, please don't be put off by what you might think is a slightly high price: you really do get what you pay for, and it's worth every penny (as repeated numerous times in her visitors' book!).

Super small hotel. Funky furnishings great service. Breakfast to die for. 5 star well deservedread more

I arrived late in the evening due to a long journey and it was no bother for the landlady who was 110% welcoming and friendly. She is a bubbly lady who loves a chat. Her husband seems to run the dairy farm and he is a pleasant and friendly man too. I was made to feel totally at home. The accommodation is a converted barn and the rooms are wonderful and olde worldy. The breakfast was a total delight. I couldn't rate this place highly enough.
