Amazing stay!

Amazing stay, we booked as we were attending a wedding near by at LEEZ PRIORY this guest house it literally 5 minutes drive away. The hosts Tricia and Stan were fantastic and couldn’t be more helpful. They allowed us to check in early and Stan dropped us to the wedding in style so we did not need a taxi. Room was beautiful with everything you would need. The breakfast was at 9am by Tricia and we were truly waited on. Cannot recommend our stay here enough go ahead and book you will not be disappointed. We will be booking again.

Homely atmosphere

A private, luxurious house with upstairs rooms where guests and the owner sleep. The host is very friendly and will explain everything to you, including how to use the light switches. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. It's the perfect place for someone who enjoys a homely atmosphere.

Great house with delicious breakfast!

My friend and I had a wonderful stay! Great value with the large yummy breakfast cooked for us. Our only regret is that we didn’t have time to enjoy it more and chat more with Stan, but we had a morning flight to catch. They were very accommodating to our departure time. They also provided a great dinner recommendation where the locals go.

Stan’s the man!

We found our stay at The Laurels perfect. Stan and his wife made us feel very welcome and their home was beautiful (with more improvements still to come!) Our room was lovely and had everything you needed, kettle, Dyson fan, tv etc. The shower was also very good!l and bed super comfy. The breakfast spread in the morning was also very well received. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic B&B. Beautiful room, really comfy bed. Hosts were lovely and the breakfast was magic; a fine selection of buffet items plus a freshly cooked fry up. 11 out of 10, I really hope I'm nearby in the future for another visit. Oh, nearly forgot, the place they recommended for my evening meal was great as well.

Cannot fault The Laurels for an overnight or longer stay... room has absolutely everything you need including toiletries, tea/coffee making facilities with a mini fridge containing fresh milk and filtered water. Breakfast is amazing.... freshly baked croissants to die for followed by yoghurt, fruit and cereal.... and a full English or any variant as requested.

Thank you Stan!

Loved every part of my stay. Stan and his wife were very friendly, picked me up from Leez priory where I attended an event. Offered me a selection of breakfasts in the morning. Couldn't help but ask about their beautiful house - built from the ground up, the house is very modern with its spiral staircase and underfloor heating. I already wish I was back in the room, such a comfortable bed, and a clean wet room shower. Peaceful stay and great service. Would recommend to everyone
