Just returned from a two night break at Byfords. Discovered this a while back having popped in for lunch and quickly realised that I wanted to stay there in the future. Wonderfully professional welcome on check in and were shown up to our room and offered complimentary tea and cake. The room was beautiful with an olde worlde feel with... More

There are sometimes so many negative comments about Byfords but I have always loved this place. The food and ambience are lovely but what makes it is the service. The staff are so friendly and look pleased to see you. Some places if you are over a certain age no one seems to bother. We often go in with our... More

We wanted a romantic break with a bit of luxury and picked Byfords after reading the reviews. We were not disappointed. Our room, Room 3, was even better than the photos - absolutely stunning, much bigger than it looks on the web,with a wonderful, luxurious bathroom. We loved the Arran toiletries, fresh lilies in the bathroom, home made shortbread, complimentary... More

I am just back from another lovely experience at Byfords. My partner and I booked late on a bed and breakfast with free dinner 'winter warmer' offer and stayed in room 15. We managed to grab the last spot of the tiny car park (which we have been told they may have means to sort ASAP) and were checked-in by... More

The Byfords is a perfect B&B. We stayed in room #17, which was lovely. All the little things which makes staying in a nice place so very special were right there. Food was excellent, service very friendly and helpful. You can see on the website whether the room you want to stay in is available. We have already booked our... More

Wonderful rooms- website did not do our huge and well appointed room justice. Loved the whole styling. Breakfasts were fantastic and served all morning- no 2 hr time slot to try and fit into here. Great service also from reception and loved the nice extra touches in the rooms. More

I was desapointed when I ask for bill and paid, we were leaving and we turned to the wrong way and... More

Yes it has a nice warm country atmosphere but after wrestling with a jaw breaking raw chewy steak sandwich and my daughter, a truly awful watery mozzarella / tomato pizza which she could only manage half of - I think I will take a wide birth next time and head for Butlers. I wasn't looking for a refund when I... More
