10/10 Exceptional

Very clean and comfortable room. Friendly, helpful owners. Breakfast was as we requested. We had a lovely stay here.
Peg, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Run by LOVELY people. Very clean. Perfect lounge area where you can use a wee fridge and heat up food in the microwave with plates, utensils, etc. Lovely breakfast in the morning. Easy parking. My only complaint is it is a little farther from the main area with all the shops. However there is a LIDL close by and we had fish and chips close by filled with locals, that was delicious. Staying right down by the shops was a lot more money, so the walk was worth it.
