A Tripadvisor review from guests who stayed with us in March 2012

A beautiful and peaceful place. Hosts very welcoming – tea and cake served in the drawing room in front of a log fire was just what we needed on arrival after a very wet day spent walking. Our room was spotlessly clean with everything we could wish for, including a very comfortable bed, and had a view over the garden, which was teeming with wild birds.  Christopher and Phillippa were very helpful, full of local knowledge and recommendations and provided many small touches that one usually finds only in luxury hotels. Altogether a first rate B&B which we would not hesitate to revisit.
