We stayed at forest house following a long day cycling (we were doing landsend to john o'groats) and found the staff there to be most welcoming, despite us having wet clothes and 2 bikes in tow! Highlight of the stay was the magnificent food in the restaurant. I can honestly say it was the best we had in the whole... More

We enjoyed one night at this pleasant and comfortable hotel. We were well looked after by a charming and attentive hostess, Sue. The staff were friendly and helpful, the restaurant food was good and our room was spacious.

Stayed for 2 nights with my Husband, Sister and Brother In Law. Would certainly recommend this B & B. Rooms were very spacious, clean and comfortable. We ate in the Blue Bell Restaurant the first night as we were going to a Wedding Reception on the second night. The food was truly wonderful. Lots of fresh vegetables. Breakfast was plentiful...
