A bed and no breakfast

After I arrived I was informed that my payment did not cover breakfast. This came as a shock and left me disappointed. It spoiled my stay. Room was clean and comfortable but tired. Parking was good. Access to town centre was good. Host was friendly.

I had a lovely room, breakfast was enjoyable and I felt well looked after. I was disappointed though that I was unable to watch TV as was told there was something wrong with the remote control. They were unable to rectify this during my 3 night stay.

Fabulous B&B

Nothing was too much trouble and breakfast is fantastic with lots of choice. We had a quiet room at the back but it is very cramped, my only reason for not giving 5 for everything
