Perhaps it’s the gentle, unstuffy attitude of Kate and Edward. Or the great position of the house with its glorious views across the Slad valley. Whichever, you’ll feel comforted and invigorated by your stay. It’s a real family home and you get both a fresh, pretty bedroom that feels very private and the use of a comfy, book-filled sitting room opening to a flowery courtyard; Kate is an inspired garden designer. Sleep soundly on the softest of pillows, wake to deep countryside peace and the delicious prospect of eggs from their own hens and good bacon. Friendly dogs Jaffa and Dot add to the charm, the area teems with great walks – lovely pubs too.
Everything about this B&B is terrific. Kate and Edward are friendly, polite and gentle hosts who really put you at ease and want you to be able to relax. You stay in your own annex with a lovely large, airy, light and comfy sitting room, where you also have your breakfast, and a similarly light, airy and spacious bedroom and huge bathroom upstairs. The bed is enormous and the mattress is just right. Breakfast is delicious and made with local produce; the eggs and apple juice come from the farm itself. I didn't ask about the marmalade but it was so good it had to be home made too! Lovely.
