Highlight: vegan breakfast!! :D
A wonderful place to stay. Very friendly owner, rooms furnished to a high standard and spotlessly clean, and a large, cheap breakfast! The best bit about it for me was that they offer a cooked vegan breakfast option! :)

Great B&B, even if the bathroom is not ensuite it is still private. Breakfast was excellent and parking allowed for. Easy walk into town. Highly recommended.

Myself and my friend stayed here as part of the coast2coast. Anne and her team could not have been more accommodating and the breakfast was incredible. The room was clean and comfortable and the location was ideal being a short walk to local amenities.

Beautiful single rooms for our party of 4 cyclists. We were soaking wet and the hosts dried our clothes, ready for the following day. Lovely breakfast. Good location.
