The breakfast was fine. Cooked to individual order
The heating came on far too late and finished far too early. On our second night, the lights failed and we were left with just two bedside lights that were plugged into the power sockets. The electricity for the lights suddenly and unexpectedly returned at five AM.

Good breakfast,comfy ample sized room..friendly owners.
No heating on in the evening. A hairy exit from drive straight on to a busy fast road.
The write up mentioned dinner, but when we got there we found that evening meals were not offered.
Once again booking,com did not pass on my genius discount. The price offered to me had increased when I reached the payment page on the web site.. this is the second time this month that this has happened.

Breakfast choice was varied , presented well and cooked well.
Had our own key to get in late at night after a dinner dance. Couple were friendly but professional. Home from home. Would definitely stay there again.
Signage was too small to see from the busy road, had to turn round and go back. Wouldn’t be a problem on further visits as you know where it is. Difficult to spot when driving on your own.

Very pleasant host, rooms were comfortable and clean with fresh water, tea/coffee, kettle etc provided. We all slept well and were treated with an excellent breakfast in the morning.
A bonus was the artwork, some by our host, and the fabulous views.
Nothing really

Scenic view from the very comfortable bedroom window. Quite country location. Excellent choice at breakfast. Clean and tidy, friendly proprietors
Could have had a more noticeable sign at the gate. Had to go down to obtain replenishments for drink making on second day.
9.0
The location was beautiful but a little difficult to find on a road without numbers. I found it in the fourth pass as the traffic would not let me drive slowly and the black sign did not stand out against the hedge.
The cooked breakfasts were delicious and beautifully presented but on a four night stay I would have liked other options such as fresh fruit and yoghurt

The meals were excellent. We had an additional evening meal. Claire's Cordon Bleu cooking was fully evidenced. Alpheton itself is very small and we travelled a few miles one evening to eat at The Manger in Bradfield Combust and thought it probably the best pub restaurant we have ever visited.
Stay enlivened by Claire's dogs and chickens which meant a range of fresh egg dishes.
Maybe it was a hangover from Covid or her three tennis matches in four days but Claire seemed not to have the time to chat that many of our previous hosts have. Not sure if that should actually count as a criticism.

Breakfast
There was no wardrobe, just a rail with 4 hangers, the fridge was about a foot tall and 6 inches wide. The bathroom had a wash basin you might find in an under stairs toilet..too small, not fit for purpose, and the heater in the bathroom was a down blower situated directly above the toilet seat, which, incidently was broken. The TV was too small and situated in an uncomfortable position to be viewed for the bed

Spacious room with lovely views
A little overpriced
8.0
Breakfast was excellent, beautifully cooked and served in good meal order which is most unusual these days. We also had a dining option on the day of our arrival, which was equally good.
Our hosts were extremely nice people, and a pleasure to talk with. WiFi excellent.
Unfortunately the property is situated on a main road, which was quite disturbing at night.

Full breakfast provided. Comfortable and clean with stunning views to garden. Claire and Paul were lovely and very warm and welcoming.
