A delicious breakfast is provided each morning in the chandelier-lit dining room, which has a log-burning stove for the colder months. Full cooked options are served, along with cereals, yoghurts.

We received a very warm welcome. The Guest House was well presented, clean and very comfortable. The cooked breakfast was tasty with fresh ingredients used and the choice of cereal, fruit juice etc was excellent. Having a local pub on your doorstep within walking distance too was a bonus for a leisurely drink and/or evening meal.
