"The lady who runs the b&b was lovely, and so friendly, she gave us all the information we needed when we checked in. The room was large and spotlessly clean, the bed was extremely comfortable. The bathroom had shampoo & conditioner as well as shower gel & soap. We paid for our parking at a car park down the road, but the b&b do have a small parking area out the back. Breakfast had a huge amount to choose from, cooked, cereals, toast, pancakes, pastries , yogurt & fruit. Hot drinks & fresh juice.
