Why visit Colonel Graham B&B/Self-Catering
Best Features: Unfussy, unhurried, comfortable accommodation with friendly and warm hosts.  Close enough to town, but far away enough to be away from the madding crowds.

Bear In Mind: It's in a quieter, residential area, so loud, all-nighters are not an option.
