    Conveniently located and well-priced bed & breakfast. Staff were lovely and cooked breakfast was excellent. The owners clearly put a lot of thought into how they run their business and it shows in the character and personal touches of the place.

    We had a beautiful family room for the 5 of us. With an enclosed garden so the children could run around. Short walk to the town. Trainstation nearby and a beautiful breakfast in the morning. Which catered for my coeliac daughter.
