Good B&B in a lovely location

8.0

Lovely large room and super comfortable bed.

Early breakfast service and checkout times made it a less relaxing experience than it could have been.

A relaxing escape

10.0

We really enjoyed our stay in Apple Loft at Shave Farm. Kate and James were perfect hosts and the accommodation was spacious, comfortable, clean and private. Patio doors opened into the lovely garden with far reaching views over the fields. It was nice to sit in the evening and watch the birds and wildlife visiting the garden and small lake. The breakfast we had was delicious! We would love to stay again soon.
