This B & B is in a private home, not all that easy to locate, and there is no personal contact with the owner as all your instructions to enter etc were by text. It was beautifully presented and gave us a comfortable night
No breakfast. This property is listed as a hotel but it is a modified private home.
Great host rocky and sue. Very welcoming. Great locals we will be there again
Had no idea it was a room inside a private home
Lovely private home away from home
lovely home stay with lovely hosts in a wonderful character home,breakfast is provided but unfortunately due to time constraints I didn’t manage to eat any.
Step back in time in a good way. Basic accommodation but clean, and comfortable. No TV in room which is great. Read a book. You have the whole unit which has a separate bedroom, lounge/kitchen and bathroom. Great old pub with a great host, friendly locals and excellent food. Thanks Graeme.
