stayed for two nights as I was visiting my family, so booked the Firs as the location was excellent and in such a pretty place. I cant fault anything the property had a lovely homely feel with the plush sofas in the living room with the roaring fire. room was comfortable and clean and the cooked breakfast was lovely, the highlight was getting to meet Lindsay and Lesley the owners, two lovely people and nothing was to much trouble, even when I disturbed them at 7am as I had forgotten to put my breakfast order in the night before. highly recommended

A ‘gem’ of a B and B! Will return 😊
Very comfortable room. Very clean and had everything we could possibly need. En suite bathroom spotless and comfortable though small.Bed very comfortable with good mattress. Breakfast ordered the night before and delicious. Only slight criticism was small pieces of toast to put in toaster and very difficult to get out and no small jug of milk on the table for tea/coffee. These are only minor things! Lovely traditional house in a tranquil setting and very well decorated and modernised. Host and Hostess very attentive and friendly.
