Had an excellent 2 night stay at The Gables. Our room (room 2) was very spacious and extremely comfortable. Everyone was very friendly and helpful, and the full english breakfast was very tasty, and just what we needed before a long walk. The location of the guesthouse was perfect with many shops, bars and restaurants within easy walking distance. More
