"David was a wonderful host and made us feel very welcome throughout our stay! The breakfast each morning was delicious, and the house and room were both cosy and spacious. The location was incredibly convenient, with direct bus connections to both the town centre and the airport, making getting around very easy. Considering the price, comfort and convenience, it was excellent value for money. I would highly recommend staying here!"

"Parking was terrible, I appreciate that hotel was busy but there's not enough parking and it would benefit from a strict one way system. Restaurant staff were very prompt and attentive especially in the morning, food quality was good. The room was spacious but a bit tired and stains on the blind when unrolled."

"I arrived very late. The staff were so friendly, and upgraded me from a single to a double room, I think because the single had gone to someone else. The bed was super comfy, I've never slept in a hotel room with such a comfy mattress before. The room was a bit run down, but clean enough. The breakfast was very basic, but good enough, and again the staff were very kind and helpful offering cups of tea or coffee. Very impressed for a two star hotel at the price I paid"
