The Ayrshire poet and lyricist died in 1796, at the age of 37, but he is still regarded as the most prominent poet to have written in the Scots dialect.
His most well-known poems include To a Mouse, Address to a Haggis, Tam O'Shanter, A Red, Red Rose and The Selkirk Grace.
Alongside his literary contributions, Burns gained fame for his numerous love affairs and radical political leanings, expressing sympathy for the French and American revolutions.

š» DETAILS
The house in question is a rambling old structure of ancient vintage, built high on a cliff overlooking the English Channel. Years ago a boat sank in a storm near the foot of the cliff and it is said that the ghosts of the drowned passengers haunt the area.
The houses occupants include a young, lovely heiress, Ellen Clayton, who is currently confined to a wheelchair; Karen her coolly beautiful stepmother; and Jenny an austere housekeeper.
The Nurse Pepper arrives, a cheerful, curious person desirous of putting things in order. And thereās the substitute doctor, Corey Phillips who believes Ellen can walk again and soon. It all begins with a sudden, violent murder and ends with a chilling, surprising climax.

šÆ WHATSUP BEDFORDSHIRE REVIEW
BISTRO CAFE
What can I say the food exceeded our spectations. The homemade soup of the day I had was potato & leek which came with a warm small baguette and butter sachets, this tasted so lovely & it was so filling the price was an amazing at only for homemade soup £5 ! My grandaughter even asked for more!
(Shown in the pictures)
š³BREAKFAST
My husband had the breakfast costing £9
which included a proper sausage not those cheap ones you may get.
šHALLUMI & FIELD MUSHROOM BURGER
Because the food was so lovely we decided to share the Hallumi, Field Mushroom Burger which was also so lovely at the price of £4.50...add a bit of mayo and this was amazing!
šØMILKSHAKES
We opted for the Strawberry & Chocolate Milkshakes that are made from real dairy icecream from a local Dairy Farm. The milkshakes had sauce in them topped off with squirty cream. Definitely another winner and a great price at £3.80! The chocolate one got the heads up from my grandaughter!
