Enjoyable
Hosts were lovely and location was great for what we were after! Our room seemed to struggle to get warm and our shower seemed to lack pressure. A fair few steps so be prepared!

Quiet, clean, attractive and comfortable B&B
We had a lovely stay - all the information on how to access the property was sent to us in advance. A room with everything needed, and nicely decorated - clean and fresh bathroom with lovely toiletries. Coffee and tea, plus decaf options laid out. A fan (very much welcomed!) was also ready for use. Quiet location, and didn’t hear a peep from other rooms. Would definitely stay again. I left something behind and the hosts very kindly kept hold of it until my return a few days later, and again sent all the details to be able to access the main door to pick it up in case they weren’t there. Excellent service! I’m only sorry we weren’t there to sample the ice cream and milkshakes on offer!
