Great B & B!

We were visiting the area for a wedding and struck lucky with choosing the Old Dairy to stay at. The room is large with all the mod cons of a 4 star hotel, a separate sitting area and a bathroom with both a bath and a separate shower. Liz and Steve were the most welcoming of hosts and Liz's breakfasts were a highlight! They also provided great tips for places to eat in the area and we had a splendid evening at the Culm Valley Inn :)

Relaxing stay

My husband and I stayed on Saturday 27th November. We stayed in the four poster bedroom. The room was amazing. My husband had just finished a night shift so it was the relaxing stay that we needed. We were greeted by Liz and the service she offered was impeccable. The breakfast was delicious with such a beautiful view of the countryside! I would definitely recommend!

Beautiful location and lovely owner

We loved our stay at The Old Dairy. The setting is stunning, with expansive country views from the property. Liz is a wonderful host, who serves the best breakfast I've had at a b&b - homemade bread every day, and vegetarian options that actually taste great!! The room was characterful and comfy as well.

Old Dairy

The Old Dairy is run by a woman who was friendly and accommodating but her husband made us feel very unwelcome, both on the evening we arrived and again on the following morning. We felt like we were a nuisance, invading his home. Also our room had no lock on the door and the bathroom was down a public hallway. The room was comfortable and the breakfast good but we wont be returning

Great place

Great find, it's off the beaten track but that's no bad thing... It was a stop on the way back from Cornwall to Cheshire, I'd recommend it to families. The room was comfortable for our family of four inc 4th month old. Our host could not have done more to make us feel welcome and accommodate our every need.

Top notch B&B

Fabulous location and a really comfortable, clean and luxurious B&B. Our first floor suite was stunning - spacious yet cosy with lovely views. Lots of homey touches and attention to detail. Lovely breakfast, friendly owners - everything was spot on. We live fairly close by, but two nights at the Old Dairy really felt like a proper holiday.
