Just stayed there over night, last night. Manager/owner gave us warm welcome. Guest House very clean, and standard of furnishings good. Breakfast good, with vegetarian choices available (which believe me, some more 'up-market' places don't bother with) Good location. Can't fault it x More

My wife and I had a lovely week-long stay at the Lawnswood Guesthouse over the festive period. Hosts David and Angela were very friendly and made us feel at home. The breakfasts were really nice, plenty of choice, good portions and were quick in coming out - a full cooked english breakfast took about 5 minutes to come out, and... More

We were welcomed by Angela in a very friendly way and shown to the room. The room was small and the bathroom was very compact, however it was very clean and tidy. The bathroom lacked toiletries and we did not bring them as we expected them in the room. The window and glass design was covered however when we looked... More

All of our rooms are provided with shampoo, body wash, hand wash, shower caps, fresh towels each day, we even have shoe shine and sewing kits. As regards rubbish, i can offer no explanation to this as none of our... More
