Very occasionally you come across a special place that will stay with you forever. Saucy Willow is that. Beautiful setting and gardens, house that is tastefully and lovingly renovated. The rooms are great, super comfy beds, powerful shower, fridge. Breakfast was plentiful and filled us up (thanks Dave for packaging scones for us to take away). All the small touches show the care that Stephanie and Dave have for their guests - a fire by the river in the evening, beach towels for after swimming, ear plugs for light sleepers (the only noise is that of the countryside), a game of scrabble in the lounge. We cannot recommend the Saucy Willow enough - we will be back.

Stephanie and Dave are wonderrful hosts who should be commended for turning a heritage inn into a truly magnificent B and B. Their attention to detail from their choice of antiques to their mouth watering freshly made scones for breakfast made our stay a special treat! We plan to return and recommend the Saucy Inn to our friends.
