So good we came here twice (and are likely to revisit time and again). Far Nook is a lovely, small (3 rooms), quality, welcoming B&B. We simply haven't got a bad word to say about it.

The room we stayed in (number 2) came with an array of tea's and coffees which were restocked daily as were any... More
