The Paddock at Scamblesby Bed and Breakfast

Introduction

We aim to cater for the needs of all visitors to our home - all our accommodation is ground floor in a modern 5 bedroom bungalow with two purpose built (in 2007) en-suite bedrooms dedicated to bed and breakfast guests. Because the B&B accommodation was recently purpose built it conforms to all current Building Regs and requirements. The following statement is a summary of what we offer. If you have any specific questions please don't hesitate to call - and we will endeavour to help.
