Loved my stay in this beautiful, inspiring ,very centrally located family home. Both my host and hostess did their upmost to make us comfortable, even spoil us. A memorable stay

I stayed with my extensive family towards the end of August and decided that it was a place to cherish. It almost feels wrong to advertise as I would prefer to keep this gem to myself. However, I couldn't fail to praise this wonderful B&B once I had stayed there. Heritage is evident and Robert Louis Stevenson, former owner of... More

Had an awesome 9 day stay in this special historic family home - fantastic central location, comfortable spacious bedroom, wonderful hosts! Tip: must ask about the affordable evening meal option - delicious 3 course dinners.
