We recently had an overnight stay at the Rum Doodle. We had a wonderful time. After we had been shown our room Emma invited us for a cuppa and a sensational homemade chocolate brownie. She spent the time talking to us and getting to know us a little. I was very impressed with the welcome. Although the room was on... More

Myself and my partner stayed in the Shute room for 4 nights and were delighted with our stay. Emma and Gregor are lovely, down-to-earth hosts with an obvious passion for what they do, and it is this passion that really elevates Rum Doodle above your typical B&B. There were so many little touches that made the stay more special, from... More

We stayed here for two nights and were very impressed. We had a lovely room which was quirky. Everywhere was spotlessly clean. Greg and Emma were wonderful hosts and were very helpful. The breakfast was amazing! We will definitely visit again.

We had one night at this lovely B&B, but could easily have stayed longer if we had more time. Our hosts, Emma and Gregor, were charming and very friendly and helpful with things to do and see in the district. We were given a neat room complete with 4 poster bed, a nicely refurbished bathroom with shower over bath, and... More

Stayed at Rum Doodle mid week. Had the warmest welcome from the owners and we had a wonderful stay. The breakfasts are amazing and the pancakes are hevenly. We would stay again without a doubt. The little touches really elevate this place above other bed and breakfasts that we have stayed at like home made cake on arrival.

Second Stay at the Rum Doodle (March 2013) Fantastic little B&B and warm welcome from the owners who couldn't be more helpful. We stayed the March weekend with all the snow, but this didn't deter from the experience at the B&B. Quirky, Fun and you are well looked after here! The breakfasts are brilliant too. Hope to visit again soon
