Summary
Sisters Alison and Maud are joint landladies of the Abbeyfield Guest House, dispensing hospitality to a variety of demanding clients while also looking after their irascible, bedridden father downstairs in the granny flat. Dreamy ornithologist Alison has just moved back from Bloomsbury, while Maud ran a 3000-acre farm in Africa - but neither sibling is really up to the task of managing a B&B, and chaos generally ensues.
In these two series, Alison has the hots for their accountant, Bernard - and is the reluctant object of a courtship display from a fellow bird-fancier; Maud comes up trumps in the middle of the night (but what will the guests make of what's in the saucepan?) and handyman Mr Mullet and the Bishop of Norwich get a little too close for comfort over tea. Meanwhile, the landladies' daddy complains about his new orthopaedic mattress, battles with hallucinogenic fungus and chips and prepares for his 85th birthday party - but what form will the celebrations take?
Sue Limb's sitcom stars Denise Coffey as Alison and Miriam Margolyes as Maud, with Joss Ackland as Father and Geoffrey Whitehead as Bernard.

Funny , witty and cheerful
Love this series - excellent actors and Sue Limb’s comedy is marvellously sardonic - 10 out of 10!

Very Good Series and funny.
Enjoyed this series. Heard it over the years on and off on the radio. But missed a lot.
Now I've heard the whole thing. Shame more wasn't made.

Sublimely written bed and breakfast comedy, with a stellar cast.
I loved this! A brilliantly funny series, with superbly drawn characters and situations - beautifully written and performed. Sue Limb’s writing is warm, witty and peppered with delicious innuendo. The cast are absolutely terrific. Hugely recommended.

Simply charming
This is one of my perfect night-time listens. Not demanding in terms of plot (if they will excuse me saying so) but just potters along with charming characters and very “British” humour. I can put this on anywhere in the middle of an episode and still enjoy it.

A repeat listen.
love all the characters and the antics.
Being based in Norfolk and recognising the local area was one of the reasons for listening.
