Likes:
That it was a B&B experience with a difference i.e. staying in an old cell (which is now very comfortable) whilst retaining the character.

"QQuirky, Comfy, Fun."
The rooms all look great and quirky, we stayed in the Barristers room.
The whole place is a maze, as well as amazing, as is ones host Nancy and her laid back partner John. The decor and feel of the place have to be experienced to be believed. The two of them have put so much care into the whole place.
All public araeas are well decorated in period. Bathrooms are very modern and very clean. Breakfast are served either in a very Victorian Dining room or the stunning court room.
