The room was beautifully clean and very comfortable. The owners were very friendly and welcoming. The breakfast arrangements were unique and very nice indeed with a varied choice to eat. Food in the restaurant was superb. We will definitely return.
Excellent customer service. Very friendly and attentive. Only dissapointment was for £95 per night would expect a cooked breakfast option in the morning. Other than that fab stay and and will stay again
Lovely B&B Pub, all rooms upstairs imaculately clean and comfortable. We didnt eat here as at a local festival, but the food looked good. Hosts are friendly and cant do enough for you to make your stay excellent.
Always a friendly greeting at The Rock and an ideal location for us to visit family.
Not the plushest, but comfortable and spotlessly clean and good value via Expedia.
