The location was just fantastic. The farmhouse was on a slight hill with a fantastic view from the bedroom window which was spacious, clean and comfortable.
We chose our B&B on both the location and the reviews. The location was fab but the owner did not live up to the reviews, which I can not understand, as most people said how friendly and helpful the owners were. Sheila was nice when we saw her but the male owner (didn't even introduce himself) was unfriendly and made us feel unwelcome right from the start. We arrived after 4pm and had to ring the doorbell a few times. He angrily answered the door, said he was in the back and that his wife usually 'dealt with this sort of thing' but was out. Then said 'So what do you want for breakfast then' without telling us what was available! We asked if they did a cooked breakfast, as we assumed they did. Nothing else e.g. smoked haddock etc was mentioned and we ate the same breakfast items for 7 days. We didn't mind that but the surly attitude towards us at breakfast we did mind. Many days he barely said a word to us but was pleasant to the nice couple also staying some of the days we were. On mentioning small problems he was surly and ungracious and saying other people didn't have a problem. E.g. BBC not working, asking did you press no.1 then, like we were stupid. The water went cold before we washed which made him angry. He told us off in front of the other guests because we went out and left the car without telling him!
Lovely hosts made this a perfect base for exploring the area. We look forward to returning again and happily recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful, clean and welcoming place to stay.
Sheila and Peter are great hosts. The room was lovely and beds very comfortable. Super breakfast - we had a lighter version of the cooked breakfast but could have had the full works.
What a wonderful place, both Peter and Sheila make you welcome upon arrival (make sure you ring the bell to the right of the main door to get thier attention). I stayed one night in the twin tweed room over looking the gorgeous countryside to the front and sides of the property. Its a traditional house built around 1830, with high ceilings and large rooms. The decor and furniture are high standard providing a comfy and relaxed atmosphere.
The ensuite is well appointed, having a strong and hot shower head to relax those aching muscles. Toiletries and gorgeous white towels await you and a fine dressing robe too.
I found the bed very comfy, in fact I fell asleep in no time and woke only to my morning alarm...high praise
You can select a range of items for breakfast youre hosts will ask you the night before for youre choice. I feasted on fruit/yogurt, toast and then traditional English with vine tomatoes, quality black pudding and rich poached eggs..yummy.
I can highly recommend the East Horton Farmhouse
Absolutely fabulous . pleasant views . Just what we needed on our road trip. Clean room . Friendly owners wonderful breakfast .will definitely stay here again and for longer.
