Great location
Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025

10/10

Great vaue for money , in fact unbelievable to stay for under £60 , room for two inc breakfast . We were in room 7 , clean , warm and quirky due to sloped ceilings but that adds to character . Only blemish is repairs required around bay window but not the end of the world . Stairs to climb but worth it for a great view . Fantastic shower with loads of hot water and pressure . Breakfast was hot, plentiful and tasty with plenty continental choice as well . Would stay again in a heartbeat . Thanks for a lovely stay in a great wee village .

Booked a last minute weekend away without even looking or caring where we went and have to say we were so pleased when we got here. Went for the half board deal, breakfast was nice, dinner was delicious but the cheeseboard - I want to go back just for that!! We were in one of the apartments and the place was so cosy and warm with everything that we needed and plenty of space.
