Perfect small room

Lovely little room, which was perfect for my one night stay. I arrived late.21:30 and was greeted at the door before even ringing the bell. Very efficient check-in all the information I needed it was handed to me, and then always left quietly to get on my night. Beautiful location next to the river, which I didn’t appreciate until the following morning as it was pitch black when I arrived. I didn’t have breakfast as I was unsure of my morning schedule Would stay here again

Almost perfect!

Pretty solid B&B. Friendly and welcoming host. Clean and comfortable. Lovely location, just a shame it was in the middle of a storm so couldn’t appreciate the area. Was upgraded to a slightly bigger room. Only real downsides for me is there was no desk or chair to work at and was asked to check out half an hour earlier than the booking stated. I would return, but would also appreciate a veggie/vegan breakfast being offered.
