Nice room, friendly hosts, well located.

I stayed here for two nights whilst in the area for business. I didn't have the breakfast so afraid I can't comment on that. The host was very friendly and helped with directions to the town etc. and the room was comfortable with everything I needed.

Wonderful hotel

First class, friendly, couldn't do enough for you, I was due to have a single room, and as I have trouble with stairs, they gave me a family room for the same rate, I will definitely return there again, best place I have stayed in for many years I give them 5 stars.
