Our 3 days stay in the B&B is wonderful. We enjoy very much for the breakfast every day and with excellent service from Steve and Tina.
When my wife steps into the room, she immediately said it has the most beautiful bathroom she ever seen.

A very friendly welcome. Easy check-in. Dining options explained including excellent choices. Very clean and tidy room and ensuite. All the expected facilities. Comfortable bed and no noise from other guests. Breakfast was very good. Good portions served quickly and attentively. Would highly recommend. When I'm in the area again this will be my first choice.

Would Definitely Return!
Wanslea House was amazing! Steve and Tina are great hosts. We felt very welcome and right at home. We loved the recommendations for things to do — everything was perfect. Breakfast was also great; be sure to try the homemade jams too! We’ll definitely be back one day.

Lovely place and friendly owners
Excellent guest house. We stayed in the king-sized room which was decently sized and had a recently refurbished bathroom. The room was spacious, airy, and bright.
The place was lovely and we met one of the owners, Steve, who was an absolutely excellent host, incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely interested in his guests. His delightful conversations and willingness to share invaluable local tips truly enhanced our experience.
The breakfast which was included in the reservation was delicious and tasty.
The rooms came with kettle and tea bags with milk pots and sugar.
There was free parking in nearby car park which was 2 mins walk away from the hotel.
