    Angelena was the perfect host. She was extremely friendly, welcoming, helpful and accommodating, a really lovely person. All of this was set in a wonderful location. We would love to return.

    We value highly people who have enough energy to keep old buildings in good condition and and restore them lightly so that the history can still be seen. View from the bedroom windows was fantastic. Angelina was very frienfly and cooked delicious...

Holdstrong Farmhouse is a 'vintage' B&B meaning it's furnishings are in the classic style of the 1920s and 1930s with an emphasis on textile crafts. If 'contemporary' is where you like to be, then Holdstrong is probably not for you! However, if you are looking for a respite from a busy world - welcome.
I love vintage English bone china (of which my collection is 'too' large) and am an enthusiastic quilter.
