Great place for families to stay
Nice cosy hotel. We stayed in the main room and it had spacious rooms. Nice garden in the back. Also has a big kitchen with mostly everything you need. In the morning there was breakfast cooked for you.

Kevin is a wonderful host. Choose this accommodation if you are happy to share bathroom and not too worried about cleanness. Kevin will cook you a homemade breakfast and do his best to help you during the stay. The property is old but we'll located. However, it is surrounded by busy roads so not very quiet or peaceful.

The king size bed was great and very comfortable. The room had a sunny aspec and felt homely. The bathroom shower had mould and needed cleaning, which WE did, the toilet and sink was very clean. Breakfast is another story which we wont go into now, having said that we were well fed. This was an enjoyable memorable experience.

Kevin, the owner is very welcoming and the check-in was easy and well organised. The cottage was clean and the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was great and enjoyable. The cottage bathroom is very small and looks unfinished, but the shower was good. Parking was available. Be relaxed and you will have a pleasant stay

The owner was very responsive and friendly. Breakfast was made fresh and to order. Although the property is older, it was clean and with all the amenities you need. Beds were comfortable The grounds need tidying up desperately to restore what would have been a beautiful garden area.

The owner, Kevin, was very pleasant and accommodating. Each morning he greeted us with a large hot breakfast plus coffee or tea. There was a communal, large full sized kitchen with all amenities there for our use. You must be able to walk up stairs in order to reach our room. The bathroom was not modern but certainly adequate with hairdryer, shampoo and conditioner. We’d certainly stay here again- much better than a plain hotel room which is twice the cost!

Avoid - Not as described!
Bed linen and towels were fresh and clean but overall state of cleanliness and fabric of building not good. Dust and cobwebs everywhere. Shower facilities very cramped and nowhere to put soap bags etc. Breakfast was mediocre. This establishment has not been a cafe for some considerable time. WiFi reception very poor. Garden unkempt and full of weeds. Our stay was in the Heritage Art Cottage, part of which was being used as a storage area. On the plus side there was plenty of hot water.
