I was the only guest that night but the staff made me very welcome
Pros:

The breakfast was adequate for me but no fruit or yoghurt but for a good eater it would be excellent

Cons:

Just the breakfast wasn't to my taste but I had a really nice prawn cocktail for my evening meal

Meghan was fantastic!! I cannot say enough about the help and friendliness of everyone there.
Pros:

This part was confusing and should be communicated at the time of booking.

Cons:

The bed was terribly uncomfortable, and there was a loud party on Saturday night just below me.

Warm and friendly, nothing too much throuble.
Pros:

Breakfast was great, served really quickly and the staff couldn't do enough to help - they were lovely. The rooms had plenty of character and were really clean and presentable.

Cons:

Scratching around for anything 'wrong' but maybe a full length mirror in the room might have been useful?

Excellent location. Free car park nearby and on street. High standard of cleanliness.Good night’s sleep. Very quiet. Family business who take pride in their hotel.

Perfect Pit Stop for The Gralloch
Pros:

The staff here are so friendly and aim to make your stay comfortable, happy, and homely. The food was amazing and the portions are much bigger than anticipated. The room we had was spacious and we didnt hear noise from other guests or the bar/restaurant. We will definitely be back here.
