It’s rare to meet such lovely people. In addition to a relaxing holiday in wonderful surroundings we have been lucky enough to make new friends in you both! Thank you and good luck for the future. We can’t wait for our next visit!” | |

[We provide our guests with wind-up torches if they are walking back from our local pub in hours of darkness, or if venturing to Kirkham Priory at night in the case of our brave South African friends.]
“We came upon this delightful Bed & Breakfast quite by chance. Who could resist the beautiful house on the brow of the hill. It looked so magical. We are so happy that we decided to stop by and enquire about accommodation. We cannot believe the quality and attention to detail that Stella and Steve have obviously put into this delightful B&B. The service and hospitality have been second to none. We will definitely be back! (When we visit again from Canada).” | |
| Jon & Linda Wilson |
“We found this B&B by chance and we are so glad we did. The warm friendly greeting we received from Stella & Steve told us our stay here would be very enjoyable. There is no end to the excellent effort Stella & Steve give to hospitality. The rooms are so very comfortable and the breakfast is fantastic. They deserve the highest recommendation for the wonderful care and consideration for their guests. We will be back for our first wedding anniversary because we know there will be a warm reception, a lovely room and a great stay.” | |
| Pete & Linda Arnold |
“Thanks a lot! I would like to come again. Excellent place and very good people.” | |
| Maria Angeles |
“Lovely beautiful building with great attention to detail – excellent! Very welcoming and helpful. Super Jools Holland concert. Thank you for a great weekend.” | |

“Just better than we could ask for!” | |
| John Tuffin |
“Thank you for a very enjoyable stay.” | |
| Neville Blundell |
“What a rush! Thank you for such a welcome and relaxed stay” | |
| Tory Manuel |
[What a rush it was – we had a house full of guests running late for a wedding. We did everything we could to help everyone check-in quickly so that they could get changed and be at the church on time. Phew! Thankfully they made it.]
Welburn Lodge opened as a B&B in July 2006 hence there were no guests comments before this date. | |
