Nice for 1 night stopover

Stayed in a garden room. Nice and quiet away from the main house and street. Not serving breakfast due to hosts wanting guests to support the local businesses, which is understandable. Just a short walk to the hot pools and towels are supplied by your hosts. Monteiths Bar short walk on the on corner is great for a pub style meal and good beer.
