"Very good welcome when me and my cousin arrived. We dropped our bags off and left for the day and when we came back I finally met James and Gary after a couple messages back and forth beforehand.. The whole team were friendly, polite and great place to stay. Shower was hot straight away instead of taking ages to go hot which was a plus. Well recommend Sam R"

Easton Court

8/10 Good

"We had a biggish room with a huge bed. Very helpful armchairs and a settee. Bathroom was small but adequate with a roomy shower which was very easy to use. Breakfast menu was very varied and choices were very well cooked. The continental breakfast had a lovely choice with various cereals and fruit and yoghurts. The only problem for us was the parking. The property has 3 parking places so first come first served. As I am disabled the road is uphill and we had to park quite a way uphill which would have been very difficult for me but my husband would drop me off and then get the car when we went out. Other than that a very value for money B & B"
