Off-road parking available but not used (it was easier to park on the road as the access was a bit tight.

The host was very friendly and amiable, the breakfast excellent in all respects. My room on the top floor was comfortable, with a good sized TV and an easy chair. The electric shower didn't need any fiddling with - just the right temperature straight away, though the shower cubicle was a little tight. Unusually for this type of guest house, there is a common lounge area with TV adjacent to the conservatory which serves as the breakfast room. Very much recommended..
