Honestly what a wonderful stay we had. Margaret was so kind and helpful - and her welcome high tea was astounding. Thank you so much. We were happy and comfortable. An old-fashioned B&B with impeccable style and attention to detail. A hot shower in our en-suite and good wifi- an unbeatable combination
