This is a truly an outstanding Bed and Breakfast establishment which goes over what one would expect.
The proprietor Jane was so warm and welcoming and showed me to my wonderful room which had a lovely balcony over looking the Summer House and the lovely gardens and country side.
Jane advised me she was going to bring to my room some fresh milk in a flask for tea and coffee and bake some fresh biscuits which were delightful.
Also had some lovely home made fudge in the room too. Delicious.

The very large room and bathroom with bath and separate large shower wax spotlessly clean.
Plenty of plugs in the room too.

The room also had , bathrobes, hairdryer and tea and coffee facilities.

I have stayed in many bed and breakfast before however this is truly the best I have stayed in by far.

The breakfast was cooked freshly in the lovely designed kitchen/ breakfast room with all local produce and home made bread and it was presented 1st class and tasted as good as it looked . Delicious.

I cannot wait to return, however would love to stay for a week as it was so amazing.
One point to mention. The bed was so comfortable I could have stayed there till lunch time.

Thank you Jane as you have a wonderful Business which you should be very proud of.

I prefer Bed and Breakfasts than corporate hotels as the atmosphere is more friendly and personal in a Bed and Breakfast.

Lobhill Farmhouse Bed and Breakfast, I will return very soon. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a quality Bed and Breakfast
Thank you.

Lovely b&b fab little touches, home made biscuits on arrival. Great friendly owner. All that you would hope for in a b&b and more wish we had time to walk the grounds or enjoy the gorgeous summer house .only negative you can hear every movement from the room above(we had the blue room) and the boiler in the bathroom was noisy and a bit whiffy of oil, however, I guess the other rooms don't have the boiler. Super clean and comfy.

Hello Debbie,
Thank you for your review, I am pleased you have a good stay despite a few issues.
I am glad you mentioned them because it gives me the opportunity to tell you of my winter plans. Every year I work on the least pleasing areas of my home and this year the Blue Room will have a makeover with a new boiler being placed outside and the bathroom being converted to a wet room twice the size of the current bathroom. This will make the room more quieter and the bathroom more useful for families and visitors with disabilities. I will also have a new ceiling put in with sound insulation.
Also in the spring I am planning to deck out the patio area outside the Blue Room to create a private garden to relax and eat in.
This will make the Blue Room fabulous for my visitors and I am very excited to get started !
I hope you get the chance to revisit and check out the improvements.
Kind regards
Jane
