This was just the best B&B we have stayed at. The location is good, a 20min walk downhill to the harbour and plenty of places for an evening meal within 10mins walk. The whole place was spotlessly clean.  …

A fantastic week's stay at Bentley Lodge during the Agatha Christie Festival. Lovely room and bathroom - both spotless. Breakfast was amazing. It was our wedding anniversary and I mentioned it to Debbie and that evening we got back to our room to find a box of chocolates, card and bottle of wine.
