Smashing breakfast
Friendly, comfortable , well-located ,quiet B&B above the pub. The breakfast was very smart and tasty! I wish they had a thinner duvet for hot summer.

Night away
Great location, great service. Room needed a little TLC but only minor. Leaking tap, door hinge on cupboard hanging off.
Room was very large but very warm. Fans provided which were perfect. Staff very friendly and food was excellent.

A warm welcome from Jemma and her team. Remarkably quiet rooms despite being above a family friendly pub and on the high street. The breakfast was one of, if not the, best I’ve been offered anywhere in a hotel in the UK or US in years. We loved staying here.

Great little inn. Fantastic staff. Nearly perfect.
Great location right in the centre of town. Really welcoming staff. Room was clean and comfortable but showing signs of wear and tear in the public areas and bathroom. Bev was comfortable and the breakfast top notch. Was a little noisy due the fire door in corridor slamming everytime anyone came through (it was not helped that we stayed on the morning when the beer delivery arrived and it is hard to deliver that quietly despite their best efforts). Otherwise a really good stay and excellent t value for money. Really cannot rate the staff highly enough

This was a really lovely place to stay. The only bad thing I have to say is that there is no AC and it was very hot on the top floor. A portable fan would have helped.

Staff were friendly and helpful, room was clean and tidy. Thankfully there was a large fan in the room, as the temperature was very hot re weather.
Breakfast was ok
I would have preferred a walk in show, as the bath was not easy to climb into as quite high.
