We had to escape from another accommodation and found a free room here. Martin repaired the bathroom door for us, then we had a comfortable, clean room for one night. Thank you! …

Excellent location, host and place. Martin went out of his way to help us park our car and trailer in his secure yard. He gave us access to a fridge freezer to store all our food items. …

June 2023. A room with a bathroom, a bit small. Do you have soaps in the bathroom? Also kettle, instant coffee and tea. Two nights for two people £105. There is street parking (in June) very close by.

Amazing stay in one of the best guest houses I’ve ever visited. Martin made us feel so welcome from the word go and as we had free reign of the facilities, it was a home from home. …
