Response from The Fossil Tree B&B & Bric-A-Brac Holiday Cottage:
Hi Steve...thank you for your comments....sorry you thought we were over priced.....we actually feel we have a better B&B than most in the village but stay the same price as the rest of them to avoid competion.....we cant always please everyone...although we do try our best. Hopefully this wont put you off ever visiting us again in the future. Kind regards Hazel
