We'd stayed in larger hotels until choosing The Long Dell so were a little uncertain about what to expect. What a joy we found it to be. Kate and Dennis... were warm and welcoming but not over-whelming. We were shown our room (6ft King Size bed in the Captain's Room!) , the visitors' sitting room and adjoining breakfast room and then left to ourselves unless we wanted advice. We were encouraged to help ourselves (free of charge) to early evening wine, mulled cider, nuts and cheese and enjoyed these with other guests on the two evenings where there were others. Dennis' breakfasts were over-generous with "specials" and extra treats which we took away for lunch! This was our first "bed & breakfast" experience in the USA and has encouraged us to be more adventurous in the future but The Long Dell has set the bar very high! Clearly, the bathroom in a b&b is going to be smaller than in a 5-star hotel but the facilities were perfectly adequate with all the toiletries, hairdryer etc. you'd expect in a hotel plus plenty of fresh towels too. There was plenty of off-road parking in a gravelled area to the side of the house. We'd definitely stay here again if we were re-visiting the area. by Tim & Fiona P from Oxford on 10/26/11
