Reviewed Jul 12, 2026Very accomodating and extremely warm welcome. Fine place.
Staff member just walking into the room as if no one there and then when they see you ask if you need anything...worrying and totally unacceptable. Thankfully I was dressed but my husband was in the shower. Absolutely no way that should happen and no excuses t khat it's for good service follow up. Breakfast was cold but tasty. The black pudding was that hard that neither my fork or teeth could get into. Honestly we knocked good craic out of that, so I am not exaggerating. No menu to let you know what is available. Took order but had to repeatedly ask for bits that were forgotten. Just get the order right and leave us alone to enjoy the breakfast. 3 star and no more but to be honest I would stay again but 1 night only.

Cleanliness
7.5/10Multiple guests noted cleanliness issues: carpet in one room smelled strongly, black hairs found in the shower, and a few minor housekeeping concerns — lowers this category below average.
Service
9.5/10Hosts (Helena, Tim) repeatedly described as very welcoming and helpful; staff friendly and accommodating overall. A few service lapses noted (staff entering a room unannounced, forgotten breakfast items), but the overwhelmingly positive personal attention justifies a high score.
Location
9.5/10Consistently praised as very convenient: short walk to the railway station, town centre, pubs, restaurants and football ground; excellent for sightseeing and transport connections.
Room Quality
9/10Rooms described as characterful, period furniture, comfortable beds and relaxing; some minor repair needs mentioned but overall high quality and comfort.
Amenities
9/10Amenities noted include parking options (on-street and a small yard for motorbikes) and a well-maintained guest house vibe; some guests noted lack of air conditioning and limited breakfast choice as minor drawbacks.
Value for Money
8.8/10Guests generally felt the stay was worth it and would return; one guest described it as '3 star and no more' for service issues, but many praised the character and hospitality, supporting a slightly above-target score.
Food and Beverage
8.8/10Breakfast repeatedly praised as excellent and plentiful by many guests, though a few reported cold items, a very hard black pudding and occasional service/ordering issues; overall positive but with some inconsistencies.
Overall Experience
9.1/10Overall sentiment is strongly positive: many guests describe a lovely, characterful stay with welcoming hosts and comfortable rooms; isolated negatives (cleanliness, a privacy incident, breakfast service) temper but do not outweigh the experience.
