The staff more than helpful, showing me not only the room but also how to get in and out, out of hours. To say the room was clean would be an under statement. The whole place was clean and very well looked after, I will be more than happy to stay there again when I am next in the area. It would have been rude not to have a pint at the bar, again outstanding

    The apartment was in a great location. The hosts provided a lot of information. There were plenty of nice touches: nice prosecco glasses, smart TV and a good shower. We used the multi storey carpark which was really close and not very expensive.

    This is. a lovely guest house that offers a quiet room and a comfortable stay with a breakfast. We had a shared bathroom but no one else used it except us and it was right next to the room. Our lovely host also knew that we did not like heat so offered us the room at the back of the house which was very cool and quiet.
