We were slightly concerned having booked this B&B a few months ago to discover some poor reviews had recently appeared on Trip Adviser. However, I am pleased to say that we did not have the bad experience others have had. On arrival, the owners were out but we were able to telephone and got detailed instructions for getting the key... more

One of 17 B&Bs used en route from John O'Groats to Lands End. Only rated very good because several of others were quite outstanding. But no reservations in recommending. more

Probably not the most interesting of old rectories architecturally, but as guests are confined to a semi-basement it doesn't make much difference. We did not meet the host until breakfast - keys were left for collection (rather insecurely) with no explanation of whether this was standard or due to some crisis - although there was someone at home when we... more

Hubby and I stayed for one night at the old rectory, but wished it was for longer! What a beautiful place. The double room we had was lovely, spotlessley clean and tastefully decorated.

Once you read my story I'm sure you can see why there's not a chance of me giving The Old Rectory anything like the five-star reviews that other guests have given it, though I can (up to a point) see where they're coming from. Booked a double room for two nights over the May Bank Holiday weekend. Booked directly with... more

It is amazing to read negative reviews about this hotel and you can only review it as you found it. We stayed for one night (2 Double Rooms). After reading the negative reviews we were a little aprehensive. I can honestly say we could not fault it at all. The rooms were spotless, very modern and clean. The owners were... more

We too thought the website was impressive but this was perception fighting with reality. We were greeted with "could you please move your car" so that other guests can get in: we're fully booked". What transpired was that there was only one other car in the car park - where were the other guests? We were immediately put in the... more
