One of the best breakfasts I’ve had in over 50 years of eating and sleeping in bed and breakfast establishments at least once or twice a week all over the UK.

Lovely hotel, beautiful location
Pros:

The couple who ran it were so very friendly, and the breakfast was amazing (especially the fruit salad!)
Our room was lovely with nice, little touches.

Cons:

Just be aware the restaurant is only open Sunday and Monday nights, but you can take your own food in.
There is a bottle bar just for residents.
