Lovely building. Interesting art collection. Just put off by mark’s self adoration. The proof is in the wall full of photographs of himself. Comes across as quite pompous. He is also very good at getting negative reviews removed from various sites.

We stayed in January as my birthday treat. Amazing place. Quirky but homely, like staying with your eccentric relatives. Hosting was great, casual and relaxed. And a birthday surprise from Mark, thoughtful and unexpected. Definitely recommend.

Wow what a fantastic B&B. We stayed in the Indian Room and it was absolutely gorgeous. Lovely comfy bed, fabulous bathroom with huge bath and excellent shower. Mark, the owner, could not do enough for us. He was so friendly and we had a great laugh with him. Breakfast was lovely and just enough to start the day. Would highly recommend and we will be returning.

What an amazing stay! You could stay there for a week and still find new treasures to admire, the attention to detail is so incredible.Mark and Heidi were such wonderful hosts and we wished we didn't have so much planned in to our short trip because we could have talked to them for hours, they were so welcoming to us and recommended the best food places. We have been recommending the chapel to everyone since and can't wait to come back again.
