Pros +

Home made breakfast included. Nice bed w lots of pillows, large room and sitting areas
Location was great and the staff was very accomodating.
This was such a charming B&B. The furniture and rooms were perfect. Our room, Tweedledum, had the most beautiful bathtub with a picture windows around it. And the room was huge! Beautiful gardens and a nice breakfast every morning really added to it.

Cons -

The bed mattress was a bit uncomfortable.
The breakfast took a long time to get (40 min), but it was a busy morning and we were a large group, so I will cut them some slack for that :)
We didn't appreciate the noise level of the streets on two sides of our cottage.

The friendliness of the staff was wonderful. Breakfast was superb! One doesn't often get aebleskivers served at a B & B. The public space was relaxing and quiet, with lots of shade and comfortable seating areas.

The people who own and run the Cheshire Cat inn are wonderful. Attentive and willing to go the extra mile.

Great experience! I didn't realize they operated as a bed and breakfast. We really enjoyed the full breakfast each morning
