Stayed here an overnight as I had a job nearby. Due to travelling I was due to arrive very late in the evening. Owner made this very easy and set everything up for me on arrival. Lovely inside and out, and lovely surroundings, also. Cranston house itself was perfect. Very clean and comfortable. Great place to stay at a great price. Highly recommend. Sadly, I didn't get to meet the owner as I was up very early, but they were so lovely on the phone and couldn't have been more helpful.

It’s fine. We stayed for a night whilst visiting for a wedding. Didn’t opt for breakfast but the room was clean and well presented.Would I stay again if I needed a place in the area? Probably.Would I rush back without thinking about other options? Probably not.

Very well organised place with charming period features throughout. Easy to reach twin centre and very affordable for a night’s stay too. Only issue we had was the fact the owner forgot to turn the switch on for the shower water, resulting in delayed hot water. Maybe could do with a reminder?

Very enjoyable 3 night stay. Incredibly comfortable king size bed, good hanging space for clothes, iron on request, and lovely shower. We didn't have breakfast but would imagine if it's on par with the hotel and service, you won't be disappointed
