Gorgeous room
Pros:

This room was absolutely gorgeous - including the bathroom. The location was perfect for walking distance to the old town and the golf course.

Cons:

The steps may be an issue for some people. We found it fine. Also parking may be an issue as it is street parking - we didn't have an issue getting a park.

Wholesome stay, friendly environment.
Pros:

It was very central, room was spacious and had all the amenities we could ask for. Coffee/tea facilities, and fridge filled was a lovely touch.
Homely decor, spotlessly clean and staff were very friendly and welcoming.

Cons:

The mattress was quite thin which we didn’t find the most comfortable, but it was fine for one night.

Would stay again, probably on the ground floor!
Pros:

Brilliant location in town

Cons:

We’re in our 70’s so the two flights up was a challenge! Charlie was a legend helping us with the bags!

A brilliant stay.
Pros:

We didn’t get the breakfast included

Cons:

It was great, central location. I was a bit upset whn we arrived as I’d booked & called to ensure we got a twin room, then we were shown a small queen bedroom at the top which was tiny. My friends had twins so I asked the nice Manager if there was anything he Ck’s do, & he offered me the ‘wee double’ with off set bathroom & my friend nxt door.
