“Lovely place for a short 2-night stay, right in the center of town. Best breakfast spot right opposite and Lowry’s pub a 1-min walk! Ray gave some great recommendations.”

“The staff were lovely! The room was nice! The location is perfect! The wine shop does a nice charcuterie board. Walsh’s bakery across the street is perfect for breakfast or just for a sweet treat!”

“Initially, there was a constant whistling sound, thought the window wasn't closed tight. Turned out to be something from outside the building. Small room, but adequate for our needs. Breakfast was pretty standard buffet style...cheese,fruit,...”
