Recommended by Patricia Kidd. Sleaford 1998 review: In a small but unattractive village. Period house with antiques. Lovely large sitting room and beautiful dining room in lovely grounds. Very friendly hosts. Book only the twin room ensuite. Wonderful mattresses, large bathroom with tiled shower. Great location for exploring southern Lincolnshire. Recommended by Barbara Ballard Norfolk: Cromer Why
Stay Here: Shrublands Farm is an 18th century farmhouse (updated
in the 1950's) on a 300 acre family farm in the village of Northrepps,
2½ miles south-east of Cromer and 20 miles north of Norwich.
Beautiful setting with lush grounds and gardens. Lots of easy parking.
Rooms are very clean, and the beds are very comfortable with nice linen.
The bathrooms are well equipped with toiletries. The hosts are great
people--very friendly and helpful. Two self catering cottages are also
available. Long
Stratton Why Stay Here: This B and B is decorated with panache and flair, seamlessly melding interesting Asian pieces with the converted 17th century threshing barn's beamed and raftered rooms. The two b and b rooms have private entrances, ensuite bathrooms and all amenities such as tv, tea tray, CD players, stacks of magazines, and much more. The barn
is located just outside a rural village in the middle of a large green
common with views stretching in all directions. It's 12 miles south
of Norwich, and its central location in Norfolk makes it a convenient
base for visiting in all directions. But the best reason to stay here
is owner Julie Franklin. From the moment we met until the end of my
stay a week later, she went out of her way to be helpful, friendly and
charming as if we were long time friends. I don't think I have ever
met a more welcoming, cheerful, and obliging hostess. Oxfordshire 2000 Review: This lovely modern home is in the tiny village of Shilton, a few minutes from the historic town of Burford in the Cotswolds. It is well located for exploring the eastern and southern Cotswolds. The village itself is quite charming and beautifully treed with a ford, a church with a 12th century Norman tower and an ancient and tiny pub. The property that the home sits on is large with a sweeping expanse of lawn, a beautiful patio and lawn chairs for sunny days. The rooms (1 twin, 2 double) are large and well appointed with all modern conveniences-TV, beverage making facilities, bottled water, etc.-and excellent showers. The twin bedded room I stayed in had a very comfortable loveseat and large countertop space for writing or just putting your things somewhere convenient. The heating is excellent, and the beds have outstandingly comfortable mattresses. Breakfast is served in a separate dining room. This is a non-smoking home. There is ample off-road parking. The house is well stocked with guidebooks, maps and leaflets. You can check your email here, a great service. The Scholans will make you feel like a treasured family member. They went out of their way to be helpful to me. It's a great place to stay, one of the best. Recommended by Barbara Ballard Shropshire:
1998 review: Two rooms ensuite. Period farm house. Huge rooms with huge baths decorated with antique furniture and all the amenities you could wish for. Excellent mattresses, very clean. Stairs to climb. Very friendly hosts. Lovely breakfasts. Huge lawn. Trout fishing. Handy for Shropshire's gardens. Recommended by Barbara Ballard Somerset: Wellington 2003
Review Why
Not: The nearest place for meals is Taunton, a 15-minute drive.
The lane to the house is very narrow. Location: no nearby attractions.
Wheddon
Cross Why Stay Here: This is an Edwardian building with six ensuite rooms on offer. The hotel is entirely non-smoking. Rooms are very attractively decorated and spotlessly clean. The bathrooms are up to date with good showers and toiletries. A large comfortable sitting room, with fireplace, is fully stocked with newspapers, magazines and books. Plenty of parking. Paul is a pleasant and helpful host. Peta is a superb cook. Meals are freshly prepared from top-notch ingredients, and a vegetarian choice is always available. Eating here is a highlight of a stay. The location in the middle of Exmoor is handy for sightseeing and walking in all directions, including the Brendon hills; the village sits near Dunkery Beacon. Go in the spring when the snowdrops are in bloom. I applaud this place for not charging a single supplement. Why
Not: It sits right on the road at the junction of two highways.
No TV in rooms or lounge. Suffolk: 2003
Review Why
Not: It's a three-mile drive to a shop of any kind. The one
and only village pub serves ordinary meals at double the going rate.
The shower over tub in the house bedroom is sparse. The house bedroom
users have to eat in the dining room instead of the conservatory. Wiltshire Lacock George Hardy At the Sign of the Angel Church Street Lacock, nr Chippenham Wiltshire SN15 2LB Tel (0)1249 730230 Fax (0)1249 730527 http://www.lacock.co.uk/ Email: Angel@lacock.co.uk 1998 Review: This atmospheric black and white timbered inn was a 15th century wool merchant's home. It has old beams, low ceilings, crooked walls, creaking floors and ancient timbers. The bathrooms are modern. The dining room has antique tables, a large fire and dinner by candlelight--traditional English food. Marvelous atmosphere, lovely hosts. Located in an historic village owned by the National Trust. Recommended by: Barbara Ballard Salisbury 2003 Review: Why Stay Here: This is a lovely guest house, beautifully decorated. The rooms have many amenities, and the bathrooms are especially well-equipped with toiletries and excellent showers. Everything is spotlessly clean. The beds are very comfortable. Mary is a wonderful hostess, full of charm, gracious, and helpful. Even if you are not seeing Salisbury, it's easy to get from this b and b to Stonehenge and surrounding attractions. You can't go wrong staying here. Why Not: very tight parking, dreary neighbourhood: a long walk or a bus ride to Salisbury attractions. Worcestershire 2001 Review: A great place to stay while visiting the Cotswolds. Friendly hosts, charming and comfortable B&B,located in a lovely town and good place to tour through the area. If asked, the host will recommend a great one day motoring tour that you'll enjoy taking! Recommended by: James E. Reabe Yorkshire:
1998 review: This home is set within the Yorkshire Moors Park just past a tiny village on the edge of a high bank and has stunning views over the moors. Three rooms ensuite. One double is small, but has nice view; the twin room is the best, has a view and is very large with a huge soaker tub and separate shower. The dining room has a nice view over the property. Dinner is provided on request. This place can be booked up months ahead. Try early. It's worth it. Easy to get anywhere in the Moors from here. Recommended by Barbara Ballard Richmond 1998 review: Rooms in the house and in the converted barn. Comfortable mattresses and well-equipped ensuite rooms. Lovely parlour for visiting with other guests and evening coffee. Friendly hosts. Beautiful countryside. Handy for driving and visiting sites in the area. Recommended by Barbara Ballard
