We stayed in this delightful B&B at the beginning of September. We were made to feel very welcome by our hosts Ian and Jane .The room was clean and bright with a view across the surrounding countryside to die for, it was wonderful to open the curtains and enjoy the spectacle of Deer grazing in the field below our window each morning. The breakfasts were generous and cooked to a tee We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would heartily recommend a stay at the Bishopsdale Oast.
