Very nice Bed and Breakfast. The proprietor is very kind and service oriented. The single room was spotless, comfy and nicely decorated. Well stocked tea and coffee options in the room. There is even more in the aisle if you somehow run out. Onsite parking was nice to have.

The best bed and breakfast I have stayed in

Wonderful stay at Elder Grove. The room was beautifully decorated with a large comfortable bed. Service was outstanding, a really warm welcome and lots of useful knowledge and suggestions of what to do in the local area. The cooked breakfast was excellent all using local produce too. Cannot recommend Elder Grove enough and counting down until we can stay again.
