Bancroft is a lovely, homely B&B. The garden and pool area is very pretty, with a busy birdlife. Tina was the perfect host who communicated well and was very kind to us during a difficult time. The breakfast was delicious, the room and bed both very comfortable.

Overall the peace and quite and the beautiful surroundings. The host is wonderful and communicated before and after the trip to ensure all went well. Rooms were great and breakfast was good too
Nothing to do with Bancroft but it will be so much nicer when the road works etc in the area are finished.
