The property needs a bit of TLC on the outside of the windows. I am not a fan of nobody on site, although the information given to gain access works seamlessly. My room was comfortable especially the bed. The bathroom needed a deeper clean around the shower. Breakfast in the morning was delicious and a lovely choice.

Lovely quiet place

A very straightforward remote check in by phone on arrival. Very quiet despite being on a main road. We were amazed how quiet when we saw lots of other guests at breakfast time. Lovely room, great sleep. Thanks

The property looks amazing from the outside. There was a telephone check in Im not a fan of that. I had a down stairs room right beside the entrance door. You can hear everyone talking in the hall plus enter and leaving. It was old fashioned inside but very comfortable.

Lovely cozy atmosphere. However the room was cold and damp. Lack of hangers or hook in bathroom would have been much appreciated. Lack of space to lay luggage. Draws in dresser very difficult to access without moving furniture.

Liked: Amenities
Serious problem on phone when trying to enter the building due to the lady on line unable to explane that the room key and front door keys were in the lock box. I discussed this with the manager the following day and he accepted that the lady did have problems in explaining things. Note that anyone arriving without an operating telephone would not be able to get the code for the lock box!!!

The stay was acceptable for one night. It’s an older home and has that older home musty smell. Our room was stuffy, no AC and we woke up hot very often. However, the bed was comfortable and the breakfast good. Service was friendly.

Would I go back ??? Yes, this place was clean and the rooms well presented. Staff were friendly and helpful. Although this guest house is on a busy road, it was so quiet. Highly recommended.

Quite a noisy room with noise from other guests rooms and the road (seemed to be a main road into town). No reception on site but easy instructions received by phone on arrival. No communal seating area inside or out ( shame given the large, sunny backyard. Amazing water pressure in the shower.

Easy to sign in if no one there. First class service, especially in our circumstances for a family bereavement. No fuss. Excellent parking facilities. Breakfast was very good indeed. Would recommend whether holiday, business, or pleasure.
