Everything about our stay was so good great breakfast brought to the room the granola compot was amazing
A very quier garden to relax in & homemade cake to help yourself to .
The place was so clean & the owners were so lovely
Great friendly staff, very helpful and pleasant to deal with. The breakfast was lovely with lots of options with a lovely view and terrace. Very good location for the local area.
We had an absolutely beautiful stay. A wonderful property, friendly staff who were not imposing. The food was just glorious. Ample space in the room; we really appreciated all of the extra special touches. We will be visiting again - it was such a treat!
Friendly welcoming hosts. Smooth check-in process. Provided useful information about the area and local eateries upon arrival. Very comfortable and clean accommodation. Excellent breakfast provided with a great selection for all needs. Would definitely recommend and stay again 😊. Dog friendly too.
Fantastic little gem! We stayed in the Garden Suite which was ideal for us and our two dogs. Cath was friendly and very informative. Accommodation was great. Bed really comfortable, kitchen & bathroom had all the amenities needed. Loved the morning delivery of our first course of breakfast in a lovely hamper with granola, yoghurt, compote and a lovely orange juice. The cooked breakfast was brilliant too. Couldn’t recommend this place highly enough.
An absolute gem. The owners made us feel so welcome and had great communication. Room was lovely and the breakfast was amazing, absolutely enjoying it outside on the terrace in the sun. Very much hoping to return
We had a lovely stay at Epchris House, which is lovely old Victorian house in a lovely location, walking distance from the centre. Lovely hosts, exceptional breakfast and the home made cakes were such a treat! We would definitely recommend this B&B. Thanks for welcoming us with our dog who also enjoyed his stay!
Lovely hosts. Excellent breakfast. Nice garden area to enjoy a drink and some sunshine. Quite a hill to climb which was fine for us but anyone physically challenged might find it difficult.
Very friendly service, everything was kept lovely and clean. Also there was a great selection of gluten free options for breakfast. We very much enjoyed our stay and would gladly stay again!
Attentive host, enjoyed stay, just s little overpr
Was made to feel very welcome, attentive host,. Accessible room outside which worked well. Good accessible bathroom. Although room generally quite small to accommodate wheelchair but managed. Overall good stay but perhaps s little overpriced.

Really friendly welcome from owner Nicky. All the staff very friendly and helpful. Immaculately clean and well maintained bedroom and ensuite shower room with beautiful quality furniture and furnishings. Fresh milk in room fridge for tea and coffee. Delicious breakfast with loads of choice. Would definitely recommend and stay again.
The hotel is uphill from the town but it's not too bad a walk, the room was lovely spacious and clean, the bathroom is a little small but sufficient for a few day stay. The outdoor pool is lovely on a hot day after a walk up from town 😊.
