When we go anywhere we like to try and stay in somewhere a bit more unusual and we loved this place. Lots of gorgeous rooms and decor throughout. The hosts were so friendly and happy to chat about the house and pass on local knowledge. Very quiet as not near the hustle and bustle but only a five minute walk to the high street. We booked the Moroccan suite and we were not disappointed ❤️ Fab breakfast the next day too. We would be happy to return and recommend it to everyone ☺️

Cannot fault this b&b. Fabulous hosts, gorgeous rooms, very comfy beds and excellent breakfasts, we stayed in the 2 bedroom penthouse suite. It was very spacious with a good size, comfortable sitting room. Would definitely recommend 😊

Martyn and Elaine are fabulous hosts with a wonderfully unique (the hint is in the name!) hotel. We had three rooms, each with their own unique layouts and large comfortable beds. They gave great information and advice for our potential days out and even surprised me with a card and bottle of fizz as it was my birthday week away with the family. Just a wonderful bit of 'icing on the cake'. Thank you Martyn and Elaine for a lovely stay, a lovely surprise and wonderful breakfasts!

A great stay at The Hillcroft. Elaine and Martyn were warm and welcoming hosts. We were offered a complimentary drink on arrival and shown to our room, which was clean and extremely comfortable. The Hillcroft is uniquely decorated, with lots of interesting and quirky features. The breakfast was delicious and the service and attention to detail superb. We will definitely be returning.
