Our room was lovely and beautifully furnished. The bathroom although it wasn't en-suite (though that did not make any difference to us) was beautiful, had everything we needed and more. The breakfast was superb, we couldn't eat it all!! I cannot fault our stay with yourselves and would recommend it to anyone. It was perfect and also wonderfully quiet. The... More

Thank you, Sam. It's guests like you who have written great reviews that have earned us TripAdvisor's Certificate of Excellence 2012. It's really helpful to get superb feedback on the continental breakfast again - we keep striving to improve it. Thank you for your observation about the price increase - it has been mentioned by other guests, too - and... More

Quite probably the most comfortable and delightful b&b we have ever stayed in. Nothing was too much trouble for Pete and Sue - we felt like privileged guests in their beautiful home. A private garden to relax in, and our own living room - and the most magnificent breakfasts imaginable. We certainly intend to go back again next year. More

Myself and my partner were looking for somewhere a bit nice for the night, and we found it! Our hosts couldn't be more obliging, offering us warm scones on arrival at 9pm....and the breakfast was just amazing. Somewhere that we will defiantly be revisiting, as was extremely reasonable on price too, Only this one we will stay for more than... More

I'm amazed by the generosity of the comments I receive, Dave... you arrived late evening and were away fairly early and I never thought we'd receive such great feedback on such a short stay! We try to make the continental breakfast as generous as the cooked breakfast, so your comment shows it's working but we want suggestions to improve to... More

My husband and I stayed in The Club Room and our son stayed in his own room for one night. It's a beautiful cottage set in a picturesque quiet location. Pete and Sue are the most wonderful hosts you could ever hope to meet. The rooms were spotlessly clean and extremely stylish. We were only sorry we couldn't stay for... More

Hi Julia.. with the very special weekend you'd arranged, I'm so happy that your stay with us went well and thank you for spending time to write such a complimentary review. Your own project is very exciting and we'd love to see it when finished! Good luck with it all, Pete More

We stayed for one night in the suite room on the way home from Cornwall to break the long journey back to Kent. I can't praise it highly enough and wish we had stayed longer. We were met outside by Pete and greeted by name then shown to our luxurious room which was spotlessly clean and smelt divine. We had... More

My daughter (9) and I stayed for 2 nights at this superb place, the best I have ever been. We stayed in the suite with our own garden and living room. The food was fantastic, the atmosphere relaxed and timeless - you should try their 'baked on the premises' croissants and pain au chocolat!, you will want to stay for... More

Thanks for your review Amanda. We really enjoyed ourselves with you both, especially 'hunting' the fish, tadpoles and newts in the garden pond! I'm glad you liked the breakfast pastries - we must admit, we always cook a couple extra for ourselves! Best wishes, Pete & Sue More

We went for a one night stay in the club room and had the most perfect time. Pete greeted us by name offering a drink on arrival, showed us our room and was incredibly warm and welcoming. The room and house were spotless, incredibly comfortable and felt like home. The continental breakfast was of the highest standard with so much... More

Thank you, Jonathan! The Club Room hasn't been open for very long, so it's good to hear your observations on the comfort and breakfast - we've had a number of comments on the generosity of the breakfast and the popularity of the the freshly-baked croissants and pain au chocolat! Regards, Pete More

I was in somerset on business and was booked in to the B&B at short notice by the company. Pete and Sue were excellent hosts and went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and welcome. The room was spotless and very well furnished and breakfast was spectacular. I would recommend them to anybody passing for any reason! More

Hi Carl and thanks for your review. Your comment about breakfast is very helpful as there is sometimes the expectation that continental is just 'toast and jam', rather than the extensive selection we provide. If you're back this way, we'd love to see you again... Pete More

Peter, it was great having you both stay and we're still talking about the escapades you had abroad! You're right... some navigation systems go right to the door and others to Wood Road, rather than Wood Lane! Anyone reading this, take Peter's advice and print off the directions on the website as an adjunct to their GPS. Thanks for the... More
