Excellent service and staff always delivers beyond expectations.

Wonderful place to stay. Relaxing, open area surrounding property

The room was very clean and felt truly fresh. Minibar was well stocked and the patio was a wonderful place to enjoy a glass of wine in the evening. The playground was also perfect for the kids after a long drive.

On the positives, this B&B is perfect for couples. Unfortunately the majority of the previous reviews concentrate on style over practicalities when you look past the design. Unless you look at the website photos in detail you may miss that the ‘family’ rooms have a top floor only accessed by a 15ft ladder. This ladder is dangerous for anyone under 10 or over 45, rendering the whole space unusable for many guests. This is unfortunate as the B&B has a decent playground for young children and at first sight appears child-friendly. The self-proclaimed ‘high end’ restaurant which shares the name of the B&B is run independently. This is the major problem of staying at the hotel with a family. The restaurant simply have no interest in catering for children. The hugely overpriced offer of ‘chicken with french fries’ as a children’s dish illustrates their lack of imagination and interest. Restaurant staff were dismissive of any feedback and simply suggested cancelling our dinner reservations, missing out on two adult tasting meals. We were generally surprised that a chef who presumably aspires to gaining a Michelin rosette would not bother to put any effort into a children’s menu. I guess this is reflected in the relatively generic 2021 review in the Michelin Guide with the simple award of ‘good cooking’. We ate sharing plates in the bar as an alternative which was not ideal, but the bar staff were very friendly and attentive. If you are a couple, do not let this review put you off the B&B, but as a family book two rooms and be aware that the restaurant is pretentious and unwelcoming for children.

Incredibly nice
