This has got to be one of the most welcoming, comfortable, delightful places anywhere. Cheryl, our host, treats you (and your dog) like long-lost friends. Believe me, it's genuine. Arriving there is just so rewarding. The quality of the breakfast, and the general atmosphere is superb. Little touches, as has been said by previous visitors, the wonderfully controllable temperature, the... More

What a find! Cheryl is the perfect host, absolutely made our stay memorable, with her fantasitc breakfast, hospitality and generousity. Max is pining for sausages now he's home- a real treat for our four legged friend. A delightful stay at what will be our secret escape from now on. I can't recommend the Pines enough - it's just not going... More

Me and my dog returned from a 3 night stay at The Pines a couple of weeks ago and there is not one bad thing I can say about it. Cheryl was the most wonderful host, friendly, welcoming, nothing was too much trouble and most importantly for someone taking their furry friend with them, spoilt my dog rotten! He had... More

Well, what can we say! We agree with all the previous comments. We also stayed in the Nightingale Room with its spacious bedroom and large bathroom with shower and bath. Cheryl was the perfect host and nothing was too much trouble. There were even dog towels provided at the entrance! The charming decor with beatiful period furniture etc was a... More
