The guest house was very comfortable. The owners have obviously gone to a lot of trouble to provide their customers with a host of information about the local area and its attractions. Freshly laundered linen, a clean ensuite with wonderfully hot water and a breakfast cooked to order, all contributed to a comfortable overnight stay. Parking at the rear of the house also contributed to a stress free stay.
