We were attending a wedding and Wheelwrights proved to be the perfect overnight base. A pretty and comfortable bedroom and spotlessly clean bathroom. …

We had a lovely time and were only sorry we could not have stayed longer! The full english breakfast was second to none - outstanding! Jill was the perfect host and could not have been more helpful. We would certainly recommend Wheelwrights.

We spent one night at Wheelwrights but wished we could've stayed longer. Our room had everything we needed - a lovely spacious ensuite and especially liked the fresh milk in a flask rather than the awful uht portions. …

Stayed as a touring cyclist, and they had storage for my bike. Can't fault the stay at all really, as they were friendly, the accomodation got all the basics right and it was a competitive price. …
