More like a little hotel than a B&B, this large stone mid-Victorian guesthouse is operated by Jim and Eryl, a friendly couple with lots of local knowledge to impart. There's a cosy, slate-floored drawing room, and the bedrooms are stylish, comfortable and in some cases large enough to qualify as suites. Breakfasts, including vegetarian and vegan options, are lavish and wonderful.
