What a great place for a visit to this beautiful region! Our room was wonderful, with a very comfortable bed, excellent facilities throughout, and an excellent breakfast to send us off at the start of each day! Ann and Manor worked very hard to make sure that everything was just right and they had a careful eye on all of... More

My girlfriend and I stayed at The Old House for two nights in April. We arrived at 8pm and knowing the pub next door stopped serving food shortly after Manor had kindly called ahead to let them know we were coming and we had a great first evening. We’d never stayed in this area before so a bit apprehensive as... More

It turned out to be the coldest weekend of February when we visited The Old House and as the wind howled and the thermometer refused to rise above freezing, I became worried that choosing a seventeenth century B&B might not have been very clever.

We were warmly welcomed by Ann and later by her husband Manor. We stayed in Sarah's room which was completely delightful. It is beautifully decorated. My husband had the most... More

Lovely hosts, very comfortable accommodation and excellent breakfasts every morning. They even fixed the weather for us! Enjoyed our strolls in the garden, really was a perfect location for our trip. Beautiful area, would love to visit again. Many thanks, Paul & Katie.

This is a charming and delightful Bed and Breakfast with a touch of class. We stayed here recently and it is excellent value for money. The Old House has the added cachet of an important literary connection, being the house where the famous English poet Coleridge's friend Tom Poole lived, and where Coleridge stayed many times. The breakfast is divine,... More
