Absolutely lovely b&b. Really nice owners, great, fresh breakfast, super location. Room was really nice and comfortable. My only complaint would be that it could do with blackout curtains

Run by LOVELY people. Very clean. Perfect lounge area where you can use a wee fridge and heat up food in the microwave with plates, utensils, etc. Lovely breakfast in the morning. Easy parking. My only complaint is it is a little farther from the main area with all the shops. However there is a LIDL close by and we had fish and chips close by filled with locals, that was delicious. Staying right down by the shops was a lot more money, so the walk was worth it.

Everything is good.
Everything is good. Warm welcome from Eric, nice breakfast with various choices, even homemade jam. The room is so clean and spotless. Excellent arrangement from the host even with our short notice of breakfast time due to the local tour. So quiet neighbourhood and we had nice sleep. Walk to city centre takes about 30 minutes.
