    Wow! What can I say? A luxurious and quirky B&B replete with beautiful antiques, paintings and comfy, comfy rooms. Vincent is a consummate host, who served us such excellent breakfasts in their elegant dining room that we did not once consider...

    Vincent welcomed us to his and Julian's charrming and very quirky victorian house with a large G+T. The room was comfortable, with a large double, plenty of storage and a big bathroom. The house is interestingly packed with books and ephemera....
