The Duty Managers, Martha and Bax were amazing - discreet helpful friendly. The only improvement we could propose is that breakfast times be extended to 10 am and when cooked, it be served hot.Otherwise everything else was very good,

A worthwile stay

A very nice place to stay with good value for money. Typical B & B, needs to improve in small areas like no towel rails, no hair dryer in room, milk not replenished on the second day etc. etc. Having said that, I would stay there again.

A film set !!

I went to this hotel for peace and quiet. On the 2nd day the place was taken over by a film set. It was screeching cars, loud music and crew thinking they could do what they wanted. The owners seem to think ok taking Money for rooms and hiring out for filming. AVOID

Uncomfortable and cold night

I was so cold that night that I will never book there again because they do not have heaters. On top of that, my breakfast was prepared shabbily and the table was small which made me uncomfortable
