Me and my wife stayed for two nights. The hotel is about 2:5 miles from town centre there is a bus stop just across the road. Breakfast was nice and fresh just made. The couple were very friendly. Would stay there again I have already recommend it to a friend of mine.

The rooms were above average, spacious, very clean with good furniture and furnishing. The toilets were spacious and very clean as well. We did not have any meals here so cant comment on that, we opted not to have breakfast included in our room fare.

Very nice guesthouse, very well decorated and clean rooms. Good cooked breakfast in the morning. The host and hostess were particularly kind and helpful, printing a boarding pass for my partner and even bringing a forgotten item to the nearby hospital for us.

When we arrived Louis greeted us at the door and showed us our room before letting us unpack before we paid. We paid using debit card and we were given a full receipt. The room was very clean & tidy and... More
