We stayed for 3 nights (was only supposed to be 2 but was enjoying ourselves so much). The owners, David and Helen are lovely people - can't do enough for you. The breakfast is marvelous - certainly sets you up for the day. I would so recommend Virginia Cottage. We stayed in room 4 - we had our dog Bob... More

Once again a great stay. First visit since the new owners took over. Extremely pleased at the improvements they have made. Excellent breakfast, comfortable room, and even a glass of wine on arrival. David and Helen are very personable and friendly, making for an overall first class stay. Will be back, and will continue to recommend it to others. More

I only stayed one night at this lovely B&B, and i must stay i wish it was longer. We arrived late (past 9pm) and David stayed up waiting for us. The room provided was large, tastefully decorated and very clean. We ordered the cooked breakfast, and it was delicious. The room and breakfast came at a reasonable price too! They... More

I spent 6 nights here in September 2011. The hosts Helen & David were very helpful and pointed me in the direction of a couple of great walks and were happy to provide directions when required. It is very close to the lake and has a private parking area just across the road. This venue was great value for the... More

Stayed here twice sept 2010 and sept 2011. Great location right in the centre, with many shops, bars and restaurants within a minutes walk-a pub and restaurant are next door! Private parking is just a minutes walk away, across a road. The lake is a few minutes walk away. This is a very old house, but all of the rooms... More

A lovely bed and breakfast with a warm welcome and a glass of wine on arrival. The owners were on holiday, but a very nice couple were looking after it. Room 12 on the ground floor was very spacious and pleasant, with a comfortable bed and excellent value for money. Maybe a lick of paint would benefit but nothing serious.... More
