Somersal Bed & Breakfast

Somersal Bed & Breakfast

10/10 Excellent
"The room was beautiful and large. Breakfast was a full breakfast with a huge selection of items. Area grounds were beautiful and the owners were very responsive. Nice location, quiet, easy to get to but not far from town. We visited during spring and the flowers were all in bloom. They had a pool but was too cold time of year."
