Lovely room, great location- however came down for breakfast at 8:00 and waited for about half an hour and no one appeared- rang the enquires doorbell and still no one appeared. There were no juices/milk for cereal left out so we left without breakfast.. shame as everyone seemed lovely at the beginning of our stay

The room was lovely, very nice and clean with comfortable beds. The breakfast was very nicely cooked and not greasy and there is a Gluten free option available. I found the landlady to be very friendly and welcoming, all in all a great stay.
