This was a wonderful surprise. We do not normally do B&B, but with the good reviews we thought we woud give it a try. Ashdowns did not disappoint. First communication after booking was a welcome, and to find out if we had any specific dietry requirements. On the day of our arrival, Gary sent an SMS to check our ETA and ask if he could book a restaurant for dinner for us. He was very welcoming on our arrival and detailed the features of the property. The following morning, the included cooked breakfast was fabulous. A wide choice and well cooked. Gary is a great host and easy to talk to. Overall a great stay.
