I stayed for 2 nights in a really lovely room that had it's own little patio garden. Mark & Maria are fantastic and nothing is too much trouble. Breakfast is delicious - nice fresh fruit, cereals, cooked breakfast (Mark makes great scrambled eggs) and toast. If I'm ever back near Welwyn this is definitely the place I'll stay.

This b&b was booked due to attending a course 4 miles down the road and can honestly say this is one of the better b&b's I have stayed in. The welcome was warm and friendly. I stayed in the garden room which had plenty of space and a comfty bed which was well needed after a hard days training. There... More

As a single traveller I found the Sunflower room perfectly big enough, the rail was useful for suits and my overcoat, and the shower room, whilst small, was ensuite and the whole place was immaculately clean, tidy and warm. And they even ironed my shirt for the evening do I was attending.The bed (a memory foam mattress) was great. A... More

I am puzzled by all the reviews of this place. I stayed in the smallest room I have ever been in with the smallest shower room (Sunflower). There was no wardrobe just a rail that went across the mirror and the window, and there were no drawers to put anything. You could barely walk round the bed there was so... More

Dear AJ23, We are very sorry you were not pleased with your stay. When you booked, we had only one en-suite room left. The Sunflower Room is very popular with our regular guests. It has a double bed with a memory mattress, tea, coffee & water tray, a shower/toilet/sink en-suite room and 23" Sky TV. We provide modern shelving and... More

Mark and Maria are wonderful hosts and did all they could to make my stay as comfortable as possible. The rooms are spacious, well furbished, clean and well-equipped. Mark does a great cooked breakfast, and there is also the... More

Mark and Maria greeted us like old friends, and as ever made us feel extremely welcome. Room and breakfast of excellent quality and as far as we are concerned it is still the best B&B we have visited. Mark and Maria are very special people.
