"Big country house in which all three b&b rooms have a view to the front, which is lovely. The rooms are clean, bright and country-style comfortable; mine had a large bed, good quality bedding and an adjoining bathroom with decent shower/hot water, but complimentary shower products in sachets are always a bugbear of mine - usually too difficult to open if you haven’t brought scissors. I gave up. Luckily there were also some mini bottles of stuff. So from a comfort point of view, the room was good.
What was strange - and I wasn’t sure whether to include this but it did really jar with me - was the welcome. It maybe feels unfair to judge a b&b on the friendliness of the hosts because staff being professionally detached can seem pretty normal for a hotel. But here, where you need to interact directly with them, it was immediately odd. Zero interest in you as a guest, no pleasantries at all when you arrive, rather you are shown up to your room and immediately ‘processed’. I was a bit taken aback. The hosts asks open questions, eg “What time would you like breakfast?” and when you say 9am would be great, replies that you can’t have breakfast at 9, as they only serve between 8 and 8:45. Same for “What would you like for breakfast?” I asked for a cheese omelette and was met with a long cool stare followed by: “I’ll have to see if I can manage that”.
In summary, perfectly good accommodation, but don’t expect a warm welcome."
