If you're looking for a peaceful stay in a period country house then Cleavers Ling is the perfect place for you.
Our bedroom was comfortable. The breakfast room, with its oak beams and inglenook fireplace set the scene for
our host, Sally, to bring us full English breakfasts, (my eggs were poached to perfection). Tea from a large silver service tea pot poured without dripping on the linen tablecloth and the toast from the toast-rack rounded off the meal and set us up for the morning. We were also offered home made banana bread wrapped up for a mid day snack. All this made our three night stay....perfect. Thank you Sally!

We visited as a couple for a short getaway and found exactly the breath of fresh air we needed. The room was very clean and comfortable, the owner was warm and attentive, and breakfast was beautifully prepared with every detail considered by the owner, Sally. A special thanks to the chef for the delicious omelette. The overall atmosphere was peaceful and perfect for unwinding together. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quiet couple’s break.

Simply fabulous

Beautiful location. Fantastic views and great walks. Attention to detail in our room. Wine glasses, cork screw etc. Excellent toiletries. Best breakfast with plenty of variety that I have had in any B&B we have stayed in. Attentive host with lots of local information provided. Pub within walking distance 1.5 miles. I could go on and on. Very peaceful stay and would not hesitate to rebook

1st visit but I'll be back!

Both Sally and her husband were amazing hosts - very friendly and ensured that my stay provided me with everything that I needed and more! I wasn't going to have breakfast but changed my mind on arriving at the house and so glad I did. Fabulous mushroom omelette accompanied with toast. Only downside is that they close at the end of the month and reopen in spring so I'll just have to wait for my next stay!!! On the plus side this means that they get time with their family which is so important and values that I hold high too! Thank you so much for making me feel so welcome.

Top character

As we were staying several nights at Bader Hall to be at the castle for a LARP event, it was nice to have a hotell-rom so close (walking distance to the castle) before and after the event. Unfortunatly there are no restaurants or whatsoever in the area, one needs a taxi to get to the village, which on the other hand only costs 5 pounds one way. Would have been nice with a take away arrangement for guests.
The cosy guesthouse itself is lovely and the owners are incredibly helpful and nice people, and the included breakfast was also very nice!

Breakfast was outstanding, all freshly cooked and top quality. Sally is the perfect host. Bed was very comfortable. Loads of hot water. Reasonably priced. We used taxis to get around and all drivers knew the hotel location. Definitely recommended and we will look forward to next visit.

First Class breakfast

We stayed for 2 nights at this lovely 16th century bed and breakfast as we needed a base for the Hertmoncuex Observatory and wow what a wonderful choice it was. I couldn’t fault a thing, each room has a different theme and we stayed in the French room. There’s a games room on the first floor with a card table and many different board games. The room was clean and all details taken care of. The service and friendliness of the owners was first class and the breakfast – WOW, cooked to perfection. We are already looking at staying again in the not too distant future, this time to try one of the other themed rooms.
