Just wanted to let you know that we found your property immaculately clean - compact but with everything we needed, your staff were friendly and engaging and your customer service was first rate. We will definitely recommend you to our friends and we would stay with you again. Lawrie and Eileen

Easy to find, close to the main centre (10-15 minute walk for NYE celebrating in town!). Rooms are clean,... More

I booked for 4 nights, starting 26th November 2011. The booking was made direct several months in advance, over the phone, for a wheelchair-accessible room. On the Wednesday prior to travelling, I phoned and arranged for a late checkin due to flight schedules.
