Great location, parking, friendly staff, warm cosy rooms

Side access to the rear carpark is a little narrow (to be fair we were in my van !), but there are 2 parking spaces at the front which help

Great staff, fantastic breakfast and really comfy stay!

As we were on the bottom floor you could hear floorboards creaking from people walking above.

"Loved the guest house and staff member Louise"

The breakfast was fabulous and the location for exploring the town was perfect

Arriving at night and in rainy weather it wasn’t easy to locate the guest house. Their sign could do with a light over it

Definitely going back! Stayed in the retreat room...absolutely amazing!!!

The 'I love you package' would have been perfect if the 'rose/flower pedals' were real instead of paper. ;)
