Satisfactory visit
friendly hosts great location easy access cold room poor heating condensation problem
I found the hosts very friendly. Nothing seemed too much trouble. The location impressed me greatly. It is close to town for restaurants and shops. It's also near the fells for good walks.
The room felt cold to me. An electric heater was provided in the room. It did not give off great amounts of heat. The bathroom became completely covered in condensation after my shower. The toilet seat, door, floor, and walls were dripping with water.

Really good B&B Experience!
scenic walks comfortable room
The hosts were accommodating and kind, offering great assistance. The location provided convenience, near both town amenities and scenic walks. Our room was exactly as described, very comfortable. The hot water supply was plentiful, ideal for showers.
The bathroom had substantial condensation after showering, made all surfaces wet. This was quite inconvenient, needing attention after each shower.
