Jubilee weekend.

We managed to get the last room for the weekend. From when we arrived until we left we felt that the experience was far superior than other alternatives that we’d had before. Jane, Calum and Bailey were all so welcoming and treated us like real guests. The breakfast was incredible and shouldn’t be missed. The room fee was a little more than some of the other local alternatives but far superior. Small details as decent espresso machines, quality towels and Scottish soaps made the stay feel like a retreat. Don’t miss staying here. Avoid 3rd party booking websites as there wasn’t any saving for us and support these lovely people by booking online directly. I looked for the red squirrels but couldn’t see them. I’ll bring some nuts next time. Thanks. Dave and S

Wow - don’t hesitate, book it !

Reviewed By Iain and Barbar... C

We stayed here for one night on our way to Inverness to travel the NC500, and were blown away by the quality and service provided by Mark and his team. 2 weeks later we stayed another night before travelling home, and this proved that the first visit wasn’t a fluke. The quality at this B&B is nothing short of exceptional. Everything is “just right”, from the furniture & decor to the marvellous food at breakfast & dinner. Mark makes everyone feel at home and extremely comfort from the moment you step in the door. As an ex-chef, it is clear he still has a passion for food. Breakfast is exceptional, and the dinner option during Summer months is a “must have” - why walk into Fort William, which is quite run-down, when you can have the quality of food offered by Mark. If that’s not enough, the bedrooms are a good size, with high quality furnishings and extremely comfortable large beds. We have no hesitation in recommending this accommodation, and it would be our first and only choice when visiting the area again.

Very comfortable room, delicious food, and excellent service-attitude among all staff make this a very pleasant stay

Reviewed By Ashlander

Loved this Inn in the charming Scottish small town. The room was very comfortable, well appointed, with amenities. But the truly exceptional thing was the service attitude among the staff. Everyone was just unusually friendly, helpful and enthusiastic. We observed that they also treated each other with this same attitude to helpfulness and positivity. We attribute this to good management, and we certainly felt we benefitted from that. I received emails advising me to book for dinner if I wanted to eat at their establishment, and I received an almost immediate response when I did so. Other emails advising of our arrival time and asking about parking were also immediately acknowledged. The food at the Inn was also delicious and the place is obviously very popular locally. We could not have been more pleased with this accommodation, which for us, was a stop between St. Andrews golf day and Inverness. We were so happy we chose to stop here and experience this brand of Scottish hospitality. Definitively one of the best we have encountered so far in Scotland.

Abbots Grange Manor House

Nestled in the lea of Broadway hill and standing in a little over eight acres of parkland grounds and gardens you will find the romantic Cotswold hideaway, Abbots Grange. Secluded, yet only 2 minutes walk from Broadway's 'picture perfect' village high street with its delightful array of independent boutique shops, restaurants and inns. This magical, award winning monastic manor has all the comforts you would expect from an AA five gold star 'highly commended' guest house. Bedrooms are equipped to a high standard with four poster beds, flat screen TVs and seating areas. Beds in all rooms and suites are dressed with the finest Egyptian cotton sheets to ensure a blissful nights sleep. Thick, fluffy white towels, bath robes and complimentary toiletries complete the en-suite bathrooms. The oldest dwelling in Broadway, Abbots Grange was built in about 1320 as the summer manor for the Abbot of Pershore. There are over 700 years of history to absorb here, perhaps while you unwind in front of the roaring log fire over afternoon tea... or by candlelight after dinner? Breakfast at Abbots Grange is a celebration of all things local. Served in the panelled dining room at the round table, you will find a mouth watering selection of fresh berries and seasonal fruits. Local sausages and smoked bacon together with Cotswold free range eggs. We offer a delicious vegetarian full English breakfast alternative, artisan baked breads and pastries from our own bakery - Huffkins - together with freshly brewed 100% Arabica coffees and loose leaf teas.

Just fabulous !

How lucky were we to get to stay here… my partner had mentioned re staying a few times and I thought, I’ll just check and there it was, 1 room available for a mid week stay - rang and spoke with Stacey and room Millett was quickly booked. We arrive to a warm welcome by Stacey and a glass of bubbles - totally unexpected.. we were given a show of the property, it is just lovely, tons of history and felt immediately relaxed.. the room was beautiful, big bath, four poster and a view of the gardens - so very nice! Champagne was in a bucket on ice as requested which just set the scene for a lovely stay.. After dinner out in the beautiful village, we returned and enjoyed a drink from the honesty bar in the sitting room in front of a log fire - loved it.. Breakfast next day was fantastic, plenty of choice and delicious- we forgot to fill out the breakfast card the night before, and remembered at 05.30 in the morning! Not a problem.. staff were super friendly and a delight. Stacey was fantastic throughout and made this all possible so a huge thanks for all your help. We will definitely be returning and hope to be back soon!!

We had an amazing 3 night stay at the Sandy Duck, all the staff were so attentive and couldn’t do enough for you. The rooms were immaculate and decorated with great style, very comfy bed slept like a baby, bathroom was perfect too. The breakfast was ordered in advance at a time of your choice and freshly made to perfection- the pancake stack was delicious and on our last day we had breakfast in bed what a treat. We shall return and have already told many of our friends and family about this boutique hotel what a find!!

Very comfortable and welcoming Boutique B&B. Rooms were lovely, classic furnishings in bedroom and modern clean shower room. Owners/staff friendly and accommodating. Parking not a problem, was given a permit for our whole stay and beyond checking out time. Breakfast room light and airy and food very good and plentiful. Quiet area for a restful night and an easy short walk to Bath city centre. Would definitely consider staying here again should the occasion arise.
