I loved this B&B. Very welcoming right from the start. Outside beautiful with lovely flower baskets and tables and chairs to sit at. Everyone we met was happy and welcoming and the breakfast was amazing. Good size room and lovely shower. Some of the fittings were a bit worn but this you expect in an old building. Would definitely use again.

Our room was lovely and a lot of care had been taken in its decoration. The bathroom was fully tiled with a Mediterranean feel. The hotel is very clean and the staff put in a lot of hard work to keep it so. We had a meal in the restaurant on our first night which was very nice and the bar was open to residents until 10.00 pm. Breakfast was excellent with a variety of choices, I recommend the full English. There is limited free parking on site. All the staff are wonderful and went out of their way to make our stay as enjoyable as possible.
