A lovely family run guesthouse, all rooms are named after the owners grandchildren, very clean and comfortable rooms, nothing seemed too much trouble. Complimentary continental breakfast was a great bonus and enough choice to get us started for the day. There's a lovely little seating area outside. There's a fridge in the dining room for guests to use and a microwave for use if you purchase microwave meals, or you can phone out to the local takeaways and eat in the dining room, folder of menus is available. We used this as a base whilst visiting family, would definitely come back
