Spotlessly clean, warm and welcoming B & B. The bedroom is cosy and had a nice drinks station which was replenished daily. The breakfast was delicious and served by friendly staff. I would recommend this place and happily return.

A beautiful and unique B & B. We had a beautiful room with a free standing bath. Beautifully decorated throughout. There were a lot of stairs.. so if that’s not for you.. be aware! Parking was tight but manageable. We did walk home from town, but it was a bit of a hike after a long day. Staff were lovely and breakfast was wonderful.
