Friendly host. Smallish room. Superb breakfast ##### Lindsay Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Lesley Oct 15, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service It is a while since I have stayed in a guest house and it felt somewhat different to a hotel. I was greeted at the door and taken to my room however there was no offer to help with my bags up the narrow steep stairs. The room was well appointed if a little old fashioned, and comfortable. I wasn't too keen on the owner coming in the room with me though he had to later to look at the radiator. I was informed on arrival of breakfast time and also that I had to leave by 10.15 'at the latest' The room was a little chilly but a heater was brought up quickly. There was no blind on the bathroom window and I had no idea where it looked out so this felt a bit awkward. The cleanliness was great and the bed very comfortable. The location was in the town but quiet which was a bonus. Not easy to find a parking spot. Breakfast was served by a young lady, it arrived promptly and was good. I was pleased to see a 5 star hygiene rating. Overall a good experience I would say however I personally am not keen on the rather claustrophobic feel of a guest house as you are staying in the owner's home and it felt like it. It is a good spot for the town centre and for walking or various activities nearby. I was simply meeting friends a 3 minute walk away. ##### Lesley Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Arkadiusz Aug 8, 2025 Liked: Amenities Lovely place and brilliant staff. ##### Arkadiusz Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David Jun 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Very comfortable and excellent breakfast ##### David Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### adrian Aug 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Good variety of lovely breakfast options ##### adrian Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Zahid Aug 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great personal service I had an absolutely fantastic time at that hotel!
