This wee stay was just what I needed. From agreeing to an early check in…to the best porridge I’ve had in years, it was just lovely. Granted, it is an old building, but it’s full of character, and while perhaps the water pressure isn’t as enthusiastic as some may like, there’s no rush, it’s easy to relax at The Old Rectory.

Lovely owner, very accommodating. Room was very spacious and homely. Breakfast was delicious. Only downside, water pressure in the shower was very low and had to run shower for a few minutes before the water warmed up. Presumably due to the town mains water pressure and out of the owners control. Thank you for a lovely stay.
