Ashfield house B&B

Charlotte and Jean run a great B&B, perfectly tuned to the needs of C2C walkers. We arrived to be greeted by Charlotte’s tea and homemade scones round the kitchen table. She had booked us into the nearby pub for dinner. The rooms were all really nicely set up, clean and fresh. Finally, she cooked us all a lovely breakfast as we sat in the kitchen. Absolutely faultless, and one of the nicest stops on the walk.

Our hosts Jean and Charlotte were exceptionally nice, going well beyond the scones and beverage by providing drying facilities, wherewithals for cleaning muddy boots and helping us with reheating a takeaway meal purchased the day before. The house was very bright and modern throughout. Our room had a smart TV, an item not always found in guest houses.

Charlotte welcomes you into her home with scones and a smile which is lovely after a day's walking. Everything is immaculate and very well cared for. Lots of very thoughtful touches in the lovely bedrooms which are furnished to a very high standard. Breakfast is in the kitchen and Charlotte even managed to chat to us whilst juggling everyone's breakfast orders. Jean, the retiring owner, is also on hand for help and a chat. Such a wonderful place to stay.
