What a gem of a B&B. Spotless and really comfortable rooms with lovely touches. Cracking breakfast and the most lovely of people/owners who work hard to ensure their guests have all that they need.

Great location

Great location and lovely couple managing guest house, with a superb breakfast. Only comment was room (11) was a tad on small size with no air conditioning (it was a really hot couple of days and being at top of hotel was very hot at night).

Excellent stay all around. The couple who run this place were friendly, professional, and very helpful. And they cooked the best English breakfast we've ever had! Our room was clean, comfortable, and had a wonderful view. Really the best of experience. We will return soon hopefully.

Excellent 5*

One of the best B&B's I have ever stayed, helpful, friendly with nothing too much trouble. Bed/bathroom bright, clean & modern. Unusual in B&B's there were 2 comfortable lounges and honesty bar. Breakfast was outstanding and my only negative, the parking was tight & needed care. Property close to town and lake. Gg
