Simpson House Inn

10/10 Excellent
"I stayed in the Carriage Room which is separate from the main house. The decor was lovely. I used the wi-fi the whole time and it was very reliable. Breakfast time was leisurely and enjoyable, each guest or group of guests at their own table with very attentive staff."
