A really friendly guest house. Rooms have everything you need. Given 4 stars as we were in ground floor room with no view. Breakfast was great. Fabulous tasty local sausages, good bacon and good bright yolk eggs. Also orange juice and fresh fruit salad included. Best hotel breakfast I've had for ages.

On arrival was given lovely big room on the top floor to be told after 10 minutes we was allocated the wrong room. To be given a really small room with a small frosted glass window was a big downer. But it was clean nicely decorated so just got on with it location was brilliant bars restaurants close by. Host really friendly and delicious cooked breakfast.
