This is a charming little guest house which we choose for its proximity to the Conference centre and is only 10 mins walk from the rail station. The hosts wery friendly and the cooked breakfast was too die for. The place is clean and the rooms functional. We stopped in room 1 which is a little small, but I think... More

The ensuite bathroom again very clean, modern but compact with a shower, toilet and sink. No bath but that suited us both fine. The bed was large and comfortable. The breakfast was excellent I had the scrambled... More

Just stayed there over night, last night. Manager/owner gave us warm welcome. Guest House very clean, and standard of furnishings good. Breakfast good, with vegetarian choices available (which believe me, some more 'up-market' places don't bother with) Good location. Can't fault it x

The bedrooms are very clean and cosy,the beds are so comfortable. Breakfast is outstanding. I got the impression that nothing would be too much... More

The breakfasts were really nice, plenty of choice, good portions and were quick in coming out - a full cooked english breakfast took about 5 minutes to come out, and... More

We were welcomed by Angela in a very friendly way and shown to the room. The room was small and the bathroom was very compact, however it was very clean and tidy. The bathroom lacked toiletries and we did not bring them as we expected them in the room. The window and glass design was covered however when we looked... More

All of our rooms are provided with shampoo, body wash, hand wash, shower caps, fresh towels each day, we even have shoe shine and sewing kits. As regards rubbish, i can offer no explanation to this as none of our... More
