“Excellent accommodation and service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 September 2011

The Fiddlers Rest is what it says it is - a luxurious and spacious bed and breakfast. We were a party of six adults and two children. Our suite of family rooms were large and well equipped with coffee/tea making facilities, a small fridge, hairdryer etc. They were spotless and charming with comfortable beds and crisp linen. Our hosts Tony... More

“Excellent service and location but let down by poor standard of decor”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 July 2011

Fiddlers Rest describes itself as an English style mansion which is odd as it reminds me of a 70's detached built from face brick.

“BOOKED FOR NINE NIGHTS LEFT AFTER TWO NIGHTS”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 June 2011

Rosetta House recommended Fiddlers Rest so despite the fact there was no reviews I was confident it would be good. From the road I immediately had second thoughts No 11 blends into the wall and fiddlers rest sign is extremely small there is no indication at the entrance that it is a Guesthouse, however No 9 is clearly displayed so...

This Guest was charged for 4 days and lost her deposit because she was booked in from 15 June and only let us know at 11.30 pm that she would only be arriving the following day. She arrived the next morning and left on the evening of 18 June 2011 after the arrival of her friend who stated that she... More
