Staff were so lovely and attentive. Breakfast was brilliant. Special thanks to Liz for helping when my mum had a migraine, going out of her way to get some ice! Rooms were spotless and had a lovely choice of teas, coffees and biscuits!

My wife and I stayed a few days at the Mynd House near the end of October 2021. It was a wonderful stay. The house and service could not be faulted in any way. The house itself was so special, as was the room. Not to be forgotten was the two gastro pubs in the village. We visit the Mynd quite often and will try to stay in this place again

What a lovely b&b perched on a hill and full of character our room was great. I had a very comfortable night's sleep and the hosts couldn't do enough for us and made us feel so welcome. Would definitely visit again!

This is a lovely B&B in a fantastic setting with beautiful views. The host is very friendly, and so helpful (as are her staff). There are some amazing walks, right on the door step. I can highly recommend Mynd House, giving it a full five stars!
