    The hotel had a very central location in lovely surroundings. The staff were excellent and knew their area. We stayed in a classic queen room with central heating, a coffee/tea maker and a work desk.

    I had a wonderful stay at a guesthouse in a central location. The garden area with a pool was absolutely lovely. The owners were incredibly welcoming and helpful, even going the extra mile to reserve a table for us on New Year's Day evening. The cleanliness of the property was top-notch, and the breakfast served by friendly staff was delicious. Despite the small size of the rooms, the overall experience was great. I highly recommend this guesthouse for its value for money and excellent service.
