The Breakfasts Are Incredible

Negative Reviews
negative:
Access to the Parking Area Can Be Tough
Because the car park connects to a narrow road, accessing it can be tough. Reviews specifically mentioned how access from one direction is harder than the other, but didn't give further details. If you are a timid driver, you might find it useful to contact the B&B before your arrival and learn about the car park layout.
negative:
The Drive is Very Steep
The B&B is located up a drive that's characterised by a significant incline. This caused a few slight struggles when guests were coming back to the property after being out for walks, and was sometimes initially intimidating for guests in cars.
negative:
The Beds Are a Bit Uncomfortable
Although their complaints were minor, some guests said they wished the beds were a little kinder to their spines. Some guests who brought up the issue thought the beds were not firm enough.
