Due to a series of travelling “adventures” and a reluctance to have the same repeated the following day my stay was very short. Late arrival and very early morning departure meant missing out on what would, I am sure, been a really excellent stopover. Despite the very late arrival, the hostess, who I very much regret not having been able to spend more time chatting with, insisted on arranging for me to have a meal at a local hotel. The B & B itself was a really attractive old-style home full of wonderful and very comfortable vintage furnishings. It really made one feel as if they have just stepped back to a much earlier time in the last century. A much more formal period but one that exuded with hospitality as that being demonstrated by the hostess. My own room was called the “Blue Room” and very much reflected its name. Almost everything, including the blankets and bed covering, bed linen, curtains, chair, towels and even the toilet’s water were shades of blue, in a very attractive manner. Furnishings in the room included a very comfortable large bed and lounge chair. Ensuite bathroom was small but adequate with a delightful shower head that was adjustable so that a tall person like me was not required to do shower squats (as it might have first been perceived to be required) In the lounge there was a decanter of port for complimentary consumption, and a kitchenette which enabled one to make their own beverages as well as breakfast in the morning. Truly a home away from home. Despite its isolation, there was available an excellent Wi-Fi connection with the only regret being that the only table upon which to work on the laptop was one of the tables already set out for breakfast, in the kitchenette area. The small amount of time available to me, however, this became only a very small sacrifice to endure. It shall forever remain a very cherished memory of all my travels.
