Edwardian - B&B

We stayed at this Guest House in early July. Mike and Jackie made us feel very welcome. We had a beautiful room with lots of space and the breakfast was amazing in the gorgeous dining room. Was walking distance to the town. It is under renovations but that didn't effect us at all. Would stay here again if we have the chance to get back to the UK.

Having read the previous reviews I was a little skeptical about staying at the Edwardian, but we were absolutely delighted to find that our room was huge, spotlessly clean (the towels smelt AMAZING!) and we had a very warm welcome. We have previously stated at the Mercure hotel which is just down the road but we will certainly be staying at the Edwardian in the future instead - our room was huge compared to the one at the hotel. We also like 'quirky' as a break from sterile hotel rooms so although the room was dated in decor we just thought it made it more fun. Our room had a very comfy bed and a sofa, so that was great. If you are light sleeper bring earplugs as the road can be busy. We were a matter of minutes from the town centre too so that was a big bonus. The re-decorating of the b&b had no bearing whatsoever on us - the breakfast room and our room were untouched, so what does it matter if there is some decorating going on in the rest of the house when you merely walk through the rooms?! The only thing we would have liked would have been a later breakfast time on a Sunday. The times were between 8 and 9 and we had been out the evening before and wanted a slightly more lazy Sunday morning, but the breakfast was great and service was friendly. We requesting parking out the back and had a key to enter the building later in the evening which suited us perfectly. Thanks for a great stay, we will definitely be returning and next time I'll remember to ask what washing powder you use so I can get my towels smelling that great!

Mike and Jackie were very welcoming. Mike not only is remodeling sections of the hotel, but is also a cheery server for breakfast. We had plenty of choices for breakfast that included the best fried mushrooms I've had on the entire trip through Great Britain. The remodeling did not affect our stay in the slightest. Jackie was very helpful in helping me with timetables for buses and trains to Cornwall. The rooms were very cozy, although the floor boards were a little creaky. We met some of the regular guests of that hotel and they were friendly and helpful in suggestions for sightseeing. The B&B is also near the historic downtown. All in all, I would very highly recommend a stay in this B&B.
