Refreshments served on arrival, unless I'm not around and Tim's cutting the lawn as the mower won't start again until it's completely cooled down!

 Fresh fruit salad and cereals followed by full English breakfast using the best local produce and our own eggs of course - cooked to perfection by Tim!  He's also got the hang of making porridge, so if the idea appeals....or let us know what you would like.  Home made bread most days.

Special diets catered for if possible - phone and discuss.

Do you dread the weight that you put on whilst you're away on holiday? It is though, surely a time to spoil yourself, so wouldn't it be nice to be offered lovely tasty food that you could enjoy without piling on the pounds?

I've compiled a selection of healthy, low fat, yet delicious recipes for you to enjoy during your stay at the Olive Tree should you wish to have an evening meal here. It started when Tim and I started putting on weight, something had to be done! I caught Tim thickening a cheese sauce with more cheese, no wonder I'd started to waddle! I know now that you can make a very nice lighter sauce with stock, half-fat creme fraiche and some cheese!

When booking simply give me an idea of your particular likes and dislikes and I will adapt recipes to suit your palate and your waistline!

At breakfast, we always make a fresh fruit salad and offer to poach or scramble rather than fry eggs. If you do fancy bacon and sausages, Tim always grills them anyway, so damage limitation there!

11/10 for hospitality! Tim's stories and Elaine's massage made our stay.
Many thanks, we'll be back.

Had a very wonderful and relaxing time. Tim and Elaine were very friendly and made us feel at home. I think this has been the best B&B that I have
stayed in so far. We'll definitely recommend to family and friends. Breakfast was excellent as was Elaine's relaxing massage

Whirlwind trip. What a laugh! From farmer to farmer. Here's to the future. Press on with your great hospitality, you'll fly a long way.

Thank you for a lovely peaceful stay. It was a lovely friendly place and Alf our dog also enjoyed it very much. The breakfast was yummy!

Friendly, generous hospitality. Great food and stories! Thank you. We'll see you again.

Thanks for making the week so easy. Mum felt very comfortable. Food and massage very good!

Anyone who hands me a mug of tea as I come in the door gets my vote! The best cooked breakfast. Comfy bed and friendly hosts. What more can you ask?

We even have two reviews on that wonderful site www.tripadvisor.co.uk , hopefully the first of many!
