We were there for a friends wedding that wasn’t too far away. Hugh and staff were very helpful and welcoming. Our room was a very good size, beds were so comfy and we were supplied with milk and coffee. The BnB was set on a beautiful hillside not too far out from the town so it was quiet and peaceful but not a far drive from things. I would happily stay there again.

The location is perfect. The bed was very uncomfortable and was making a lot of noise when turning. There is no desk or table no chair in fact there was no furniture at all. No bath sheets.The bathroom was very unsafe especially the shower had uneven floor. I've never experienced such in my whole life. It was a disaster.
