Perfect B and B in every way. This is truly an exceptional place and all the rooms are first class. We only stayed for 2 nights on our way back from Cornwall, but I wished it could have been for longer! Judy & Stuart made us feel like old friends and they could not have been more hospitable.We will definately... More

Just spent two nights with our son at this most wonderful B & B which offered better accommodation than I have ever experienced. Judy and Stuart made us SO welcome and the little extra touches (like providing proper wine glasses, without being asked, having noticed the bottle we had with us) and the choice of music with our wonderful breakfast....

We spent 2 nights at this very clean and comfortable b & b. Our room was well equipped with all facilities and very pleasant. It is run by a charming couple who provided an excellent breakfast and many helpful tips on the surrounding area. There is ample car parking. we would both definately stay again.

I have stayed with Stuart and Judy on many occasions whilst travelling on business and their hospitality and attention to detail cannot be bettered. They are extremely well organised and each time I expressed a preference, be it breakfast times or even the type of cup in the room I have found the same arrangement in place each time without...

Wow, we were pleasantly surprised when we entered the luxurious Lowry Suite which is beautifully furnished with a large en suite wet room, ample drawer space, walk in wardrobe and all the amenities you receive in a 5* hotel. More boutique hotel than B&B, it is absolutely spotless, we wished we could have stayed longer. Judy and Stuart have thought... More

We recently stayed at Liongate House on our way to Devon. This is without doubt the best B&B we have stayed at. Our room was extremely comfortable, clean and spotless.
