“An excellent location by the river with a genial and knowledgeable host”
Great location by the river. Great host who provided lunch for us, as we'd travelled from Scotland at the crack of dawn. The room was large, and breakfast was excellent. Easy walks from the property along the river. Good restaurants nearby, one of which our host booked for us.

“Quite, cozy and nice B&B by the River”
We had a fantastic stay at this B&B. Allison gave us a warm welcome, and the place was cozy and clean. The homemade breakfast was delicious and really added to the experience. We felt completely at home – or even better! The location is perfect for escaping the hustle and bustle of the city. It’s right by the river, making it the ideal spot to relax and recharge. We left feeling refreshed and would definitely recommend it!

“It was okay for a one off but I’d not stay again. Alison was really kind about me losing their keys.”
The bed and bedding were lovely, as was Alison. The situation of the place is wonderful and I bet that in summer it’s fabulous.
