    The location was great - in a quiet street but a few minutes walk to the center. The room was big and comfy. The hosts were so friendly I felt like they were old friends. The house itself is great and tastefully decorated and good off road...

    This was a 5 Star Bed & Breakfast, the room was immaculate, breakfast was quality and nothing was too much trouble for the lovely hosts. The hosts were able to give us advice on places to visit and eat, we are busy nurses and needed to kick back....

    Jo and Frank were lovely and very hospitable. Jo could not do enough for us. The room was very well appointed with plenty of storage for unpacking our suitcases. Breakfast was also great with plenty of options.
