Monsieur Morgan's

If you watched Nichola and Roy on Channel 4’s Great B&B Challenge, you’ll know they were worthy winners – modest, unassuming, wholly unpretentious – and they’ll look after their guests with much kindness. Find a super sitting room/reception with an honesty bar, a stylish vintage sofa, a wood-burner and a TV for rainy days – there’s also a snug library for a quiet read.

You’re greeted with something home baked, then it’s upstairs to a suite and three pretty bedrooms with antique beds, spanking new mattresses and views over the village or garden. Wake to hearty breakfasts at the big wooden table or in the garden on fine days: homemade yogurt with berries, homemade jams and marmalade, artisan baguettes, boiled eggs, good strong coffee. Nichola and Roy serve dinner every night too – three courses with wine included.

There’s much to do nearby and some superb walks and cycles, but you could just stay here and enjoy a bit of R&R in the peace.
