Property information

We are a nice quiet very well maintained guest house ideal for couples and families alike. We boast 4 double rooms and 4 family rooms, one of our double/family rooms is situated on the ground floor for those who find stairs difficult. Unfortunately a Breakfast option is not available. We offer ROOM ONLY FACILITIES. All rooms have flat screen tv, fridges, microwaves and full tea and coffee making facilities, PARKING - Free street parking subject to availability .. There is also numerous pay and display carparks, all within 2 minutes walking distance. Please note we do not offer any onsite parking facilities..
