The theme of our Bed and Breakfast reflects our interest in bears and Teddy Bears - to wit we have named your accommodation after some of the great Teddy Bear Manufacturers of the early twentieth century ie: The Chiltern and The Steiff - both with their own ensuite - and the The Merrythoughts - which has a spa ensuite.
All our rooms are airconditioned for your comfort.
