“Excellent location, great host, comfortable & spotless room”
Central location, park the car safely and you can walk/bike around town. Rooms are comfortable and very clean. The electric blanket is a wonderful idea. The sherry & biscuits are a nice thought. Jane is a lovely host. The smell of freshly baked bread gives a homely feel. Breakfast and coffee is super!

“Central and comfortable”
We did not include breakfast in our stay but the bnb is close enough to walk to local restaurants but the accommodation has a bakery and coffee shop right downstairs and we did decide to eat there. It was delicious!

“Central location, clean and the friendliest host and staff.”
We booked last minute on the Friday, only arriving after 18:00. Jane was in constant contact with me regarding the entry code for the gate and photos where we can find the keys. We ordered a room but got a whole 2 bedroom cottage. It was lovely! Beautiful inside and clean, clean, clean. Well equipped kitchen and all. We did not include breakfast because we wanted to try out other restaurants too. But I must say, the Courtyard Cafe's breakfasts are the best. We enjoyed everything so much, that we booked an extra night. The accommodation is so central but you are not hearing any street noises. Don't look for any other place to stay. We will hopefully be back.

Jane and her staff were wonderful, service was prompt and always with a smile. The location is very good, with private secure parking. The smell of freshly baked bread in the morning is to die for. The breakfast offers more tasty dishes than most. The coffee is good.
