As someone else said, it's not a 5 star establishment, so you will not get 5 stars. Gavin was lovely and gave us lots of advice and even got us some plates and things to share our chinese take away dinner. My bed was comfy enough but some people in our group had quite uncomfortable beds. The same with the... More

I stayed here on my own hen party in February. Although the guest house is slighted dated, the rooms were clean and the staff were very obliging. We were given a private room to play games etc- they had no prob with us bringing in our own champagne! Each night the residents bar was open well into the morning, the... More

Our stay was for 6 people over 3 nights while motorbike touring (there's secure parking about 100 yards away, very important for us as there was a lot of bike money involved), and we had a great time. The reception was warm, the staff friendly, and the locals were all friendly. We've read some of the bad reviews on this... More

I stayed in this guesthouse for 1 night for a hen party. Thankfully the accomodation had no bearing or effect on the hen party festivities... This was the accomodation included as part of an overall package which included B&B, a make up class, dinner, entrance to a club with champagne on arrival and a shot. All in all the package... More
