My wife and I spent one night in late August 2012 at the Bumblebee Cottage. We had a lovely en-suite room adjacent to a separate common room. The Cottage is a little off the beaten path (so make sue you have good directions) but it's very comfortable and quiet. It also has an large garden to wander around in. Breakfast... More

Bumblebee Cottage is a wonderful place to stay. The bedroom was comfortable, clean and nicely decorated with a spacious ensuite. Fresh milk in the room was a nice touch. There is also a separate sitting room for guests to use. It was nice to have the extra space to relax in, and because Bumblebee Cottage only has one guest room,... More

We visited Bumblebee cottage over a year ago (June 2011) and promised ourselves we would recommend it but somehow it slipped off the to-do list. We agree with all the other very positive reviews. This is a real gem of a B&B with very friendly hosts and great accommodation & food. We bought some home made jam and also recommend... More

A very warm welcome from Esther and Steve on our arrival as always. Room very spacious and comfortable, bathroom had bath and seperate shower. Fresh milk provided each day in small flask instead of those silly little cartons, this along with the other extra touches such as flowers and small dish of sweets, made the stay even more enjoyable. The... More

We only stayed one night on our way home from Orkney, but Esther and Steve made us very welcome. Our room was spotless, well-appointed and beautiful. we also had use of a lovely lounge where an excellent breakfast was served. The garden is absolutely glorious and I just wish we'd had time for a little wander. We'll definitely come back... More

A beautiful setting, fantastic comfort with everything thoughtfully provided. Highly recommended. An exceptional place to stay. Glad to be made welcome as a solo traveller in a quieter time of the year.

If you love beautiful gardens, you must stay at Bumblebee Cottage! Esther and Steve have created a masterpiece of "garden rooms" that flow together around their charming cottage. Our bedroom and large bathroom were so comfortable, and it was lovely to have our own sitting room where breakfast was served in the morning overlooking the garden. We would love to... More
