Sensational afternoon tea with amazing scones. We also really appreciated having several gluten-free options too. But best of all was the service. So friendly and chatty with plenty of history about the building and town. Can't wait to return!

What a beautiful b&b with plenty of history. Owner was very informative about the old tea room and surrounding area. She was also the most amazing host, so friendly, kind and welcoming. Made us feel like we were at home. Breakfast was amazing with a great choice of cereals, pastries, yoghurt and then cooked breakfast. The cakes and scones are a must when visiting....tasty! There is a plaque which says " come as guests leave as friends....we have definitely left as friends.

I meant to review this amazing place as soon as I left! We went in the beginning of November, I’d just missed the Halloween decorations apparently. It’s such a beautiful tea room, I hoped it was haunted and yes! Wasn’t disappointed, the lovely owner had lots of stories to share, such a sweet, wonderful lady who couldn’t have been any nicer. I wish she would adopt me, even asked if she’d consider it!? xxx Please visit and support the sweetest and most charming of places and please do pass on my love, from Tania from Bournemouth xxxxxxxxx

I meant to review last wkd after we left. Lovely tea rooms and the lady serving was so friendly. Another customer was chatting to me and it felt so cosy. The poached eggs were perfect. I will be bringing my family for a cream tea very soon.

Stayed here for just the 1 night but my word the historical appearance has been left as alone as its 400yrs old in 2035!!! Firstly the Suite room was absolutely massive with a 4 poster bed ,separate lounge with everything on tv including Netflix and Amazon and an actual BATH considering everywhere is showers nowadays!! Absolutely Lovely chatty lady/owner was amazingly friendly and told us about the history of the building etc and the 17th century tunnels which are still there which she uses as a storeroom downstairs. Shockingly quiet at night as the flat/room we had was at the rear of the property. Well worth the money but the website we used (booking.com) doesn't give refunds as we had to cancel prior to staying but we rebooked soon after. Only thing I'll point out is if you're unsteady walking around, take care as the building is old the floors are uneven and has a big step into the bedroom and 2 separate steps in the bathroom but otherwise it was lovely and we're definitely going to stay again soon!! Unfortunately there isn't any parking available but there's a "top o town" car park literally 2 minutes walking distance away from the front door!! Small restaurant at the entrance, as you'd expect from such an old building was lovely and the full English breakfast was perfectly cooked too ,but there's also fruit, cereal AND croissants on your table If you don't want hot breakfast If I could give it 6/5 I would!! Would definitely recommend!!! Anazing historical place!!
