I stayed here back in October 2012 (yes, it's taken me all this time to get round to writing the review!) and found Abbey Lodge to be the perfect bolthole. The room had just been refurbished – I had the honour of christening the room. Really smart, comfortable with sofa, table and chairs for working on the computer. I stayed... More

We have just spent one night here & what a joy to behold.

Gosh, where to begin? I stayed for the best part of five weeks back in Sep-Oct 2012, mostly alone but sometimes with my boyfriend. I had called in advance to discuss some questions then book.

We particularly liked the fact that the facilities were not "overchintzed" and the welcome we received, being told by Heather that we could... More

This is a top quality establishment where the customer's comfort is paramount. There are many excellent reviews on this site all of them justified. The only negative reviews have been regarding the... More

Stayed one night on the spur of the moment. Nice warm, cosy atmosphere with a very welcoming hostess. Lovely and clean with absolutely everything you could need. I liked the idea of helping yourself to breakfast then taking back to bedroom where table and chairs were provided. I will certainly stay again even though the rooms at front are little... More

I was so pleased to be coming back to stay this last night before heading to Canada. What an oasis! Our room was spacious,with beautiful furnishings, comfortable ,with two... More
