10/10 Excellent
"The room was small but immaculately clean. It was ideal for a one night stay. I met Peter, the owner, and he was very helpful with regards getting about and recommending local places to eat. There was ample parking outside too. Whilst the other guests weren’t in any way noisy, unfortunately the walls are very thin and I could hear the slightest noise very clearly."

"1 night stay on my way to John O'Groats. Single room. The host welcomed me at check-in and gave me all the relevant details, plus asked if I needed recommendations for dinner etc. Breakfast needed to be ordered via a form and left on the desk by 9pm. Option to choose from various cereals, drinks, cooked items etc. Breakfast was delivered to the room on time and was very tasty. The room was well stocked with tea/coffee/biscuits etc. The bed was comfortable and clean. The bed linen felt like it had been washed a few too many times though - in fact I would say this sums up the building as a whole - everything works but it is a little bit tired. Perfectly adequate for me though! Private bathroom was across the hall from my room. Lots of space, plenty of hot water. Overall perfectly pleasant stay and I would use again."
