Great little stay

Great stay and Tracey was a superb hostess. The property is brilliantly located for the town amenities and tourist attractions. Plus we were able to park in the adjacent street. And during our visit the room and street was lovely and quiet.

Great place to stay opposite the castle. Lots to explore in the local area and plenty of dining options. The rooms are on the top floor but we found the stairs to not be too steep. The room is a good size with a handy en-suite. Helpful host as well.

Little gem of a property, full of charm. Spotlessly clean, super comfy bed and excellent shower. Beautiful view of the castle. Stone entrance steps steep and lots of narrow stairs, however this is expected in older properties. An excellent stay, would highly recommend.

Great Central spot.

The room was fine, for such and old property without a straight wall or floors. Looking right across at the castle it was comfortable. Plenty of teas of different flavours and coffee on hand. Very welcoming hosts who let us use the parking permit through out our stay.

A charming room.

I liked the little additions such as plenty of premium teas and biscuits (even though I don’t drink tea or eat biscuits) and magazines for reading. The room had charm, plenty of space and storage and was decorated like a home.
