The reception and breakfast room are in a different building, on a different road which was fine as the weather was dry. Buffet breakfast was great with good choice. We also ate in the restaurant for dinner which was also excellent. Staff were all extremely good. Would stay here again."

You get what you pay for - it's in an old building with poor ventilation. A few 'old building' smells and humidity lingers in the bathroom. Bed was comfortable, all linens and towels clean and fresh. All staff were extremely pleasant easy to interact with. Nice breakfast at Keppel's Head was included."

"Great Value and Comfortable Stay! I stayed here for two nights in a B&B setupwith a shared bathroom and shower. It was exactly what I was looking for! The room was very clean, and the bed was extremely comfortable, making for a great night's sleep. It offers excellent value for money. The only minor detail is that the shared shower head could be updated, but overall, I am a very happy guest and would definitely recommend staying here!"
