Excellent Rural Stay

comfortable bedspowerful showerquiet location
Alex, the host, cooked a lovely breakfast. It was nice to eat in the kitchen while he cooked. The twin room was a good size, and the beds were comfortable. The shower had hot, powerful water. The location is quiet and offers beautiful scenery.
I noticed that the B&B followed a no frills policy, so some may want to keep that in mind.

charming farm stay, dorset delight

farmhouse kitcheneasy conversationlovely dogsinoperable tv
The farmhouse kitchen really charmed me. Breakfast was cooked to order. i ate it at a big kitchen table. i found easy conversation with the host and other guests. the surrounding area is pretty with views, and the quiet made sleeping easy. i found the dogs especially lovely. there were three of them.
The tv in my room wasn't working, and i couldn't find instructions to fix it. it was a bit of a nuisance. the shower door also felt a bit awkward to use, as it was hinged on the wrong side. I had to maneuver a bit to get in and out
