“Terrible B&B, very aggressive and impolite owner”

Reviewed May 1, 2013

My wife and I had a terrible experience at this place, and we moved to another B&B. The owner was very aggressive; she was always stressed and speaking in an impolite and aggressive way. Adding to that, we switched twoo rooms; both were very uncomfortable. They were noisy because they were right on the street, the beds were very uncomfortable,... More

Problem with this review?

It is unfortunate that despite every effort made by our staff to accommodate and attend to this guests needs and requirements when they stayed with us 9 months ago, that such a negative review was put forward. However, other reviews and comments in our visitors book for that same weekend, last year were much more appreciative and friendly. More

“Last minute getaway- Lovely Stay”

Very tastefully decorated, clean and had everything which we required. It was wonderfully warm which was great as the day we arrived was very snowy! A cot was... More

Thank you for taking the time to write a review and we have taken all of your comments good/bad on board. Unfortunately, due to our central location and such a popluar village, we have no control over external noise. As it is an old building and full of character, all our rooms do vary in size.
