Alastair Sawday’s Special Places to Stay
“If wallowing in a huge cast-iron bath followed by soft towels, bath robes, crisp white sheets with the fluffiest pillows ever, is your thing, you’ll be in B&B heaven here.”

AA Britain’s Best Bed and Breakfast
“Caroline serves breakfast at separate circular tables in what was the creamery. Her menu might include salmon with scrambled eggs . . home made yogurt, compote and muesli, organic sausages and smoothies. ”
Staying Off The Beaten Track
“We love everything but most of all the simplicity, log fire, fresh daffodils and snowdrops, white bedding, fluffy robes and reading about Gotten manor in the book beside the fire. Fellow guests don’t go out to eat but enjoy the simple pleasures of cheese, chutney, olives and salami with good wine from the deli in Ventnor; beside the roaring log fire. ”
