Warm welcome, Good food, comfortable room. Nothing too much trouble ! more

This was our third stay here and won't be our last. Our room was very comfortable, and nicely furnished/decorated with a nice big bathroom. Quiet location within 5 mintues walking of city centre. Good range of breakfasts, big and hearty to start you day, freshly prepared and hot unlike some hotels i've stayed in. A very warm welcome from Carole... more

I stayed in this guesthouse for one night recently. My friend had booked it for him, his brother and me to stay for a stag night. Carole was very welcoming from the outset, explaining facilities and suggesting somewhere I could go for lunch nearby. The room was small, but that was fine for a one night stay.

Had to turn sideways to get into the ensuite as the door kept banging on the bed. However it was clean. Its been our experience that travelers from far away get worst rooms as... more

Welcoming, friendly and helpful throughout our three night stay. Our top floor room was well furnished, comfortable and clean. with excellent hospitality tray etc throughout. Wonderful breakfasts - huge choice available to suit every taste. Close to bus stop but also an easy (and level) stroll into the city. Excellent experience - would book again. more

Rang on the offchance that we could get a family room after seeing the property on the internet a few days before, and thankfully it was the last room available. Stayed with our 14 year old son and he was really pleased to get a proper single bed - so many hotels give the kids a fold-out or put-you-up. The... more
