"Amazing place to stay. First time staying in a B&B having favoured hotel stays in the past and what a nice change in made.

"Charming guest house with friendly staff. Great location."
"Strange entrance to our room as had to hold the fire door open and room door to get the cases in. Room was clean as was bathroom although bath panel very scruffy. Due to the style of sink turning the tap on causes a tidal wave and wets you through so have to use cautiously! Had to pay for parking as didn’t book directly with hotel."
