Ashcroft Gardens Bed & Breakfast

I really don’t know where to start, such an amazing place. We stayed for 5 nights whilst visiting family in the area. Gavin and Sally were welcoming, amazing, hilarious, beyond helpful and super sweet. Breakfasts every day were scrumptious with an amazing choice on offer. We had fresh fruit and yoghurt every day followed by toast and homemade Jam/marmalade. Others would have cooked breakfasts. Sally would go out of her way to make sure people had what they wanted. Both would check in about the previous day and provide helpful suggestions re the day ahead. The rooms are clean and spacious with lovely views. For the first 3 nights we had the garden room which was lovely. I loved watching the sparrows and sleeping cats (the gorgeous sugar and spice) living in harmony. On the last two nights we were upgraded to the pool room which was fantastic. The beds are large and really comfy. The bathrooms are spacious and well stocked with bathrobes etc. Aside from little storage there is everything you could possibly need. A lot of people would normally only stay for one night in the area so I would imagine storage is not an issue for most. The pool was a bit too cold for us because of the weather (personal choice and equal cowardice) but we did have the pleasure of trying out the hot tub. It was amazing, very luxurious. The gardens are really beautiful. Gavin and Sally went out of their way to book tables for us in the evenings (even when one restaurant showed as fully booked) and give us lifts out and back. As they says it’s not what you know of who you know. We really felt like part of the family and can not recommend this place enough. My advice.... one night is not enough for you to fully appreciate their charm or the area.
