We arrived sometime late afternoon and unsure of what to expect.
No sooner had we arrived the owners appeared next to our vehicle and immediately set about helping us unload our car and carrying our bags to our room. It is as good as service at the Four Seasons. They then prepared tea and cakes for us. It was almost as if we had arrived home. The room was fresh, clean and inviting and the bed was extremely comfortable. I expected the bed to sink in the middle which happens with regular monotony at so many B&Bs. Bottled drinking water was always available as were Tea and Coffee facilities. Breakfast was superb and made to order - not precooked. They make scrambled eggs as good as I have ever sampled. In speaking to the owners they said that they sell B&B and that is what they aim to deliver to the highest standard.
The owners provided information of a standard equivalent to Concierge services we have experienced at Five Star Hotels in Europe /USA on Dining and Tourist Attractions etc.
Could not get over how quiet it all was.
I have no hesitation in recommending this establishment.
