Wonderful!!
Fantastic little gem! We stayed in the Garden Suite which was ideal for us and our two dogs. Cath was friendly and very informative. Accommodation was great. Bed really comfortable, kitchen & bathroom had all the amenities needed. Loved the morning delivery of our first course of breakfast in a lovely hamper with granola, yoghurt, compote and a lovely orange juice. The cooked breakfast was brilliant too. Couldn’t recommend this place highly enough.

Lovely hosts. Excellent breakfast. Nice garden area to enjoy a drink and some sunshine. Quite a hill to climb which was fine for us but anyone physically challenged might find it difficult.

The hotel is uphill from the town but it's not too bad a walk, the room was lovely spacious and clean, the bathroom is a little small but sufficient for a few day stay. The outdoor pool is lovely on a hot day after a walk up from town 😊.

A lovely place to relax, a short walk to town
We enjoyed our stay here. Very attractive b and b with lovely garden, terrace where you can have breakfast with your dog,and swimming pool. The pool is great and we had it all to ourselves on the afternoon we arrived. Very dog friendly with mat and water bowl provided. I would have scored comfort higher but we had the twin room which was not as large as the others and was very hot, not having the large opening windows of other rooms. Each room has a fan, which is a thoughtful touch on summer nights, but I did feel hot and found the bed on the hard side for my liking.The shower room is good but compact. Might be bigger in other rooms. It's all very well kept and is very quiet. We barely heard the adjoining guests at all and the fridge in the room was very useful.

We arrived early but this was not a problem as our rooms were ready. Nicky was very welcoming. Everything was clean and of a high standard. The gardens were lovely with a pool, free range chickens, goats, and a lovely view. Breakfast was very good with lots of choice. Easy walk down into town - not so easy coming back but just take it slowly or get a taxi! We all had a lovely stay in this friendly hotel.
