Great value
Noise from the road

Location was great for our purposes.
Though the B&B doesn't have dedicated car parking, this was easy and free - just had to make sure to move the car in the morning before the restrictions apply.
Our room was on the road-side, and we found the road noise at night quite loud, and could hear people talking/shouting as they walked up the road. Obviously not the fault of the B&B though.

Great B&B, very friendly, cosy, has everything you need and on street parking outside. Lovely breakfast.

Easy to find with outside parking and a close by car park for daytime parking. Friendly, helpful staff on hand with information.
Lovely property but quite “compact” with narrow steep stairs, small twin room, tiny shower room up a step, tiny basin so it was hard not to splash water onto the floor, small shower but nice hot water and easy shower head.

Friendly welcome. Cozy room, comfortable bed. Good location and value for money.
Door to stairs and narrow stairs - a fixed feature of a listed building, but not so easy for an old 'un to negotiate with luggage.

Very nice property in great location for local drinks and food. Best pub around few doors along. Nice owners, clean and comfortable. Parking (even for my large van) was not problem.

Lovely little room with our own bathroom right next door. The whole guest house was very clean and smelt lovely.
Comfy bed
The mirror is a little high being above the fireplace. Also the pillows weren’t that comfortable

Lovely property, all the facilities you need plus the extras that make all the difference 😊. It is welcoming (the building and staff), the room was so clean and had coat hangers, hair dryer, a blanket to snuggle in on the bed - just the extra touches to make it special. The welcome pack had lots of helpful and interesting information about the property and the area. Travelling alone, this really helped.
There was honestly nothing not to like

Comfortable bed and first class full english breakfast. Parking available outside the property or opposite in grounds of a surgery.
Two tiered flooring in the bathroom. It was however understandable that as much space was made available within the confines of a grade II listed building.

I had a wonderful stay at this bed and breakfast. Parking was surprisingly easy right on the road, much better than I expected. The hosts were very accommodating and welcoming, and even gave us great recommendations for local pubs and restaurants for dinner. Breakfast was absolutely delicious, and they were more than happy to cook items that weren’t even on the menu, which was such a thoughtful touch. The location is central, making it easy to get around. Everything was spotlessly clean, the shower had great pressure, and the rooms were very comfortable. I’d definitely recommend staying here!

The host was very helpful before we arrived and made everything so easy. Even though we were late, check in was hassle free and the breakfast the next day was one of the best I have had for a very long time. I would definitely stay there again and indeed, hope to do so in the future.
It didn't really affect me but over a long stay, parking might be an issue as the regulations start at 8am in the morning outside the property.

The breakfast was excellent. The welcome and overall friendliness and professionalism of the owners far exceeded my expectation. The bedroom and bathroom were clean and comfortable. I couldn't hear any other guests or outside noise despite its location being on a main road.
A mirror in the bedroom that was at my height, I used the one in the hall opposite my bedroom.

Cleanliness of the bedroom and dining room. Breakfast was superb.
Nothing seems too much trouble for Andrew and Louise (the owners). Both were very friendly.
Building is full of character, and comfortable.
Will we use The Blue Mantle again....most definitely.
Absolutely nothing.

Andrew and Louise were very welcoming, and extremely helpful with advice on parking and letting us check in / drop our bags off early as we had a wedding to go to. The room was very comfortable, the bathroom in need of a little updating but perfectly adequate. The breakfast options in the morning were excellent and overall the blue mantle was a lovely stay and great value for money. Thankyou for having us!

Location was perfect we were able to walk to a local restaurant and amble back at our leisure.
There was quite a step up to the shower/ toilet. It wasn’t a problem for us but it may be for others.

This is a lovely friendly hotel. Very clean and comfortable and, as a single woman, I felt very secure. There was also good wifi and loads of powerpoints with usb sockets.

The location was very good. Very central to the main high street, cafe & shops etc
A little disappointed with the interior of the property. Yes I appreciate its an old property but a little more care was needed when decorating etc
