Fabulous as always. Our 3rd stay here. Carol and Rob have a wonderful B&B where guests are treated like 'old friends'. No huge restrictions over breakfast times (which are always wonderful and freshly prepared to your liking and needs) No menu cards to fill in the night before which is a welcome change from other places. Would recommend and have done so on many occasions.
