Real value for money, especially with the breakfasts on offer. The home-made touches eg needlework, glasswork, stonework. Hosts are top notch, down to earth -not toffee-nosed.

We are parents of three children who have blessed us with 8 grandchildren. Our hobbies are gardening and recently travel. We do the old fashioned B&B cooked breakfast and enjoy the conversation around the breakfast table with all the guests. Butch is the cook and goes great eggs. You are welcome in to join us for a chat at anytime. We respect your privacy if that is what you like. We just hope that you feel at home
