This three-star B&B hotel opened in 1997 and has since doubled in size, but it is still ‘welcoming and quiet’, says its nominator. The buffet breakfast is ‘unusually good: eggs and bacon, a great variety of cold cuts, cheese, fruit, jams, 12 different teas and decent coffee’. It is served in a pleasant room with conservatory or, in fine weather, in the ‘flourishing’ rear garden. Six bedrooms have balcony and bath; the others have a shower. The owner/managers, Gerard and Sabine Jurine, are ‘a charming couple’; he is French, she is German, ‘and the helpful reception staff are trilingual’. ‘All sorts of restaurants nearby.’
