“Great place to stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 May 2012 NEW

Very impressed - stayed here on our Lands End John O'Groats trip, and were blown away by the place - great value for money considering the location. One of the nicest places we stayed on the whole trip, owner was very helpful, just a really good place to stay. Starting to do good food in the evenings as well

“It just keeps getting better and better.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 May 2012

We have regularly used Garfield bed and breakfast since 2006. Host Martin is always in the same cheery mood whatever time of day we have arrived and nothing has ever been too much trouble for him.
On arrival in the early afternoon on Monday 21st May we discovered Martin had ventured into bistro style dining at lunchtime and evening, and this was his first day............We had made plans to eat out with friends that night and sadly couldn`t contact them to change the venue, but on our return the guests who had eaten in the dining room were really impressed with the quality of the produce, presentation and good value for money.
The 264 restaurant is right at the bus stop for the city tour so even if you are staying somewhere else it is worth jumping off the bus for a snack and comfort break before resuming your city tour.
The expansion has not eaten into the care and attention lavished on the guest rooms, and some renovations will eventually be made to add alfresco dining too. No alcohol license yet so take your own bottle if you need something stronger than coffee or tea.......although the tea at breakfast time always hits the spot.

We arrived late afternoon and were immediately met with a fantastically warm welcome. Nothing was too much for Martin. The rooms are clean and well equipped. Breakfast was excellent and ther rest of the staff are gracious. I would definitely recommend this guest house to anyone.

“Loved the Garfield!”

Our experience was just perfect! You guys are always available and truly care about your visitors. You're always smiling, no matter how early in the morning or late in the evening. The room with the bunk bed and double bed (#8) is huge and perfect for us. Nice view too. Breakfast was good and so was location. You guys set high expectations for clients visiting other B&B ;o))
