Clean and well maintained

We stayed in the caravan which gave us a lot of privacy and it was a beautifully maintained caravan! We were provided heating so it was not at all cold. Decent tea/coffee making facilities. However, was slightly disappointed as the pictures showed a double bed, but when we arrived it was two singles. Beds are slightly small but this is expected in a caravan home.

Fantastic place to stay. The bed was a little hard for our liking but hey that’s the beauty and unknowns when staying else where. Super clean and convenient. Excellent hosts and great breakfast collection. We will def be back

Loved the peaceful surroundings. It was also lovely to have the complimentary self serve breakfast- especially enjoyed the fresh fruit salad. The host was really nice and gave us helpful information on activities and facilities in the area. Also, the other guests were friendly and atmosphere was very relaxed. We had the use of a very cute cottage - the Anne Hathaway cottage. Everything that we needed had been thought of. Great stay.

If you want something homely, this is it!

I arrived very late and I went to the main house. April had stuck a message to her front door to tell me that my room was unlocked. I was shocked at what I encountered - not in a bad way but in a good way. I had booked ‘Much Ado’ and it was amazing. It was well decorated; everything looked fresh and it was homely! I originally booked one night but then I immediately booked a second online. I couldn’t recommend this place any higher! Have a look at my pictures because the standard of this room was brilliant. Just make sure when you speak to April, don’t allow her boy to slam the door shut on her because he was locked in and I had to break in to open the house as April was pregnant.

6/10 Good

到着が7時を過ぎた為、スタッフは鍵を置いて不在。 中には入れたので問題はなかった。 清潔で設備も全て整っていて良かったのですが、 ブレイカーが落ちて復旧作業をしても電気と水道が使えなくなり、寝るしかなかった。 電気はテレビとヒーターなどは使えたので寒くなく過ごせましたが、照明が全てつかなかったのでテレビの明かりで確認するような感じになり不自由な思いをしました。水道はトイレも飲み水もなしでスーパーも開いてなかったので早朝に出ました。 疲れ果てて即寝だったので何とか一夜を越した。

Romantic Victorian Grandeur

I attended a nineteenth century costume ball in Hamilton and booked the Shakespeare, a gorgeous Victorian B&B for the occasion. It was absolutely perfect (except that my partner had to cancel at the last minute and I was left alone). I will certainly recommend and would like to come back.

Room and property better suited to couples more than a family of 4. No microwave in the room. No plates or cutlery and not enough cups or mugs for 4 supplied. Clean, tidy and lovely room. The host April is lovely.
