Our room looked recently decorated, was cleaned to the highest standard and had everything there that a visitor could possibly want. The couple who run this bed and breakfast are friendly and knowledgable about the area, and the breakfast they provided was cooked with local produce and was delicious. There was private parking for our car to the side of the property, and The Red Townhouse is approximately seven to ten minutes walk from the town centre.

Welcome Home

We felt so welcomed and at home. They went out of their way to help us attend a nearby wedding that we had come for. They didn't know we had just come from a Lodge in Greta Green where we had had such a terrible experience. They checked us in unheard of early where we were able to regroup and go to the wedding as if nothing had ever happened. They love what they do and it shows in every detail!
