"Fabulous B&B - Nothing below excellence"
We only stayed one night (whilst house hunting) but that was enough to be able to give this B&B the highest rating. The building is like a traditional farmhouse - exposed beams and brickwork, open fireplaces. We stayed in the family room -gorgeous. Lovely comfy bed, great views of the garden.Plenty tea, coffee and hot choc available.We didn't stay long enough to use the guest lounge but it was very comfortable furnished.Jenny cooked a delicious breakfast including Gloucestershire Old Spot bacon.

Likes:
Everything - nice touches like having a bowl of seeds (pumpkin, sunflower etc.) out at breakfast with the cereals.
Decor and furnishings are lovely and completely in style with the house itself.
Dislikes:
Yeah - we had to leave!!

The twin room has a separate bathroom with shower along the hall.

This location is ideal as a base for walkers, cyclists or for chilling out. We are very close to Ickworth Park for the National Trust Ickworth House coutnry park. Also for weddings at the Ickworth Hotel our B&B is well positioned for wedding accommodation.
