East Horton Farmhouse

.

Perfect!

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!

Classic country home with fantastic hosts and wonderful breakfast. Would definitely come back.

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.
