Rick & Ali
The Blenheim is a family-run B&B which was taken over by Ali and her family on 24th July 2015. Since then, all of the rooms have been upgraded and continue to be upgraded every winter.
Ali is following in the steps of her Aunty who ran The Blenheim for over 27 years and prides herself on giving every guest the best possible stay. Cooking is her passion so breakfast is very high on her list of priorities!
