I would say this was more of a B than a B&B. I say that as the night that we stayed here, there wasn’t anyone available to do the breakfast so we had £3 per person knocked of the bill. It's just a pity that no one bothered to contact us to let us know that no breakfast was available... More

I've just had a 2-night stay here. The staff are friendly, and the prices are reasonable (£32/night for a single room) but I was left feeling slightly disappointed, in spite of the favourable reviews on this website. The room was ok but the mattress in my bed was quite "wallowy". The free wi-fi was terribly slow - pretty much useless.... More

The Cosgrove is a great guest house - very convenient for the town centre. We've stayed in the double en-suite and the twin rooms and beds are comfortable in both. Lashings of hot water, lovely and warm in the winter, and a nice cooked breakfast. Very clean. Parking is available outside the guest house - we've always managed to find... More

We had a very good time at Cosgrove Guest House. We couldn't make the breakfast times as we had to leave early in the mornings but Barry really went out of the way to make sure we had good breakfast anyway. And the morning when we could make the sit-down-breakfast time we all had special requests and he just met... More

First visit when stranded in snow. Now home from home. Always a friendly welcome. Nothing is too much trouble for the owners and staff. Rooms are clean and comfortable. Breakfasts are wonderful and always served with a smile and a chat. Too close for my liking to surrounding shops as I always manage to over spend when I stay there.... More

I stayed in the double twin room downstairs at the back of the house which was clean, comfortable, warm and quite quiet with a good sized en suite. The hosts Sandra & Barry were extremely pleasant and helpful and the use of the gym across the road was an added bonus. I would certainly stay there again, given the opportunity.

We had a wonderful week at the Cosgrove, Barry and his staff did everything they could to ensure that we had a great week. The breakfasts were delicious, the room was clean and comfortable. It was a breath of fresh air to see someone work so hard to ensure that all guests had a pleasant stay. Thank you and well... More

Very pleasant and friendly host and staff. Light sleepers beware as some rooms have thin walls (which is a risk if neighbouring guests stay up late, which mine did!). Also, wifi internet connection a bit slow. But good value accommodation and I would certainly recommend it (with the above in mind).

The owners and staff at the Cosgrove are very friendly and helpful, the room was very clean and comfortable and had everything a guest could expect for a B&B plus a nice packet of biscuits every day! The communal kitchen was always clean and useful for a week-long visit. The location was only steps from the town centre. I really... More
