Generosity of an evening meal after a long days drive and assistance with getting out and about in the snow. Fabulous breakfast and lovely company in the evening. The musical instruments were also gre
Dislikes:
having to go out into town for an evening meal - careful planning ahead necessary. No use of the kitchen.

"Fabulous"
This was our first experience of B&B. The accommodation was excellent. The property was easy to find and near to Berwick. The owners were friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was served promptly and nothing was too much trouble. The bed was really comfy - with no horrible plastic underblanket. Read less
Likes:
The peace and quiet of the house and area.
Dislikes:
The organ music made it feel a bit churchy at times.
The extractor fan in the adjoining room was very disturbing when people used the bathroom in the night or early in the morning.
