I know I have remarked on this B&B before, but despite it appearing on TV as an integral part in the Big Bread Experiment it remains homely and charming, with Lionel and Alison playing host perfectly to their guests, serving up steaming pots of tea, delicious homemade cake (parkin on this visit), and locally sourced breakfasts each morning.

Alison & Lionel couldn't have made our stay with them any more perfect. They helped with planning our evening beforehand, gave us a very warm and genuine welcome and ensured everything we could possibly need was available. Our bedroom and bathroom were beautifully furnished and spotlessly clean and they have put a lot of thought into making sure that their... More

We just spent a family holiday touring around the U.K. with our two teenagers and happened upon this place one afternoon as we did not book ahead at all. This was easily the best B&B we stayed at.
