I have just returned after 4 nights with my two teenage daughters. It is a good base as it is inbetween the two bays and we had a magnificent view of the north bay from the patio door in our room. What makes this place special is the attention to detail by the hosts: greeted by the door, chocolates on... More

Booked this on the strength of the comments on TripAdvisor and wasn't disappointed. Stayed in Room 6 with the four poster bed. Was a bit cool on arrival but soon warmed up when the heating came on. John, the owner, was a delightful host from start to finish - very knowledgeable about the building and the local area. The bed... More

I love this place! I, in an exclusive party of 19 people, had the perfect weekend here. It was all very relaxed. A home from home. The building itself is immensely characterful, and was once lived in by the artist Atkinson Grimshaw, which I'm sure adds to the magic of the place. We were delighted that the lounge has a... More
