Cranleigh

As Americans, we are doing one of those whirlwind tours through England, with a few days here and a few days there, trying to get in most of the country. This lovely bed and breakfast, far and away the most charming of our trip, made us want to forget the north of England and Scotland and stay in Bath, enjoying the beautiful city, but also the relaxing, welcoming and, well, beautiful Cranleigh house. The family who owns it is welcoming and affable, the food is delicious (just remember when they say pancakes, they really mean crepes), the showers hot and the rooms spectacular. The B & B is a bit out of the bustling down-​town area. One could walk there in ½ an hour, but we drove into town and parked and walked from there. The bonus, of course, is that it is quiet and dark and easy to sleep, and more affordable than the B&Bs right in the middle of things. We definitely were happy with our decision. I already started planning our next trip back, and we will definitely stay longer next time!
