Where do I start? I booked this guesthouse because it is close to my daughter's shared house and needed to stop over when we delivered her. The place is simply horrible. We had a family room, which had a double bed and 2 singles plus an 'en suite'. This consisted of a toilet with a cracked cistern cover and a... More

Expensive, dirty, no loo roll, tiny beds, altogether a very disappointing stay. Look around for another B&B and get a much nicer room without paying for the dirt.
