We have just enjoyed another week staying with Marjorie and Harold at the very best B&B in the UK. We have been staying with them for nearly 30 years and for the last 12 years we have enjoyed their hospitality 3 times a year. The welcome you receive and the help in finding places to spend your time is great and the food is absolutely fantastic with lots of home grown vegetables and eggs from their own hens. Altogether it makes for a wonderful holiday
Stayed there years ago and Harold and Marg are brilliant hosts, Harold and his snug ( invite to his snug ) Marg and her food brilliant anyone wanting to stay here will not be disappointed.
We stayed here in July 2021. Mr & Mrs Edmondson are excellent hosts, advising on places to go. The breakfast is beautiful, freshly cooked with eggs from their own hens. The evening meal was equally as good and the room was spotless. The view from the garden is lovely too! It certainly exceeded our expectations, we can’t wait to go back.
