We book B&Bs in England to get to have some contact with the locals. Not so here. We arrived early and Jill did take our bags into the dining room for safe keeping whilst we went down into the village. When we got back to the B&B later in the afternoon to check in we were taken down the drive... More

Then proceeded to have the deposit taken... More

The breakfast was cooked lovely , not greasy and warm and offered extra toast at no extra cost. Although the checkout was at 10am we were allowed to leave the car to carry on our exploring of... More
