The accommodation was excellent. It was very clean and comfortable. The food was top-notch. I had an incredible breakfast. The staff was very friendly and willing to help in any way. I skipped one breakfast (I was meeting friends) and the staff checked to see if I had done that in error and were willing to get something for me. Incredible service!!! Thank you!

It is a quaint, beautiful Victorian home that is well-maintained, with charming appointments in each room. We were greeted with the aroma of home-baked goods for breakfast along with a choice of savoury or sweet mains. The French Press coffee accompanied the meal, and everything was delicious. The hosts and manager were lovely and attentive to our needs.
