10/10 Excellent
"A very nicely refurbished hotel did not have the leisure entrée open, but hopefully open soon. Food was well presented. I’m very tasty. Rooms are a little small, but OK for a single traveler."

Launard House

10/10 Excellent
"We had a lovely stay @ Launard house! Sharon & Adam provided exceptional service & hospitality. This was the 11th lodging stop for us (Scotland & Ireland) and the first to have a top sheet & washcloths, which we appreciated as Americans. Sometimes it’s the little things!😃 We walked into town for dinner with dozens of great dining choices. Breakfast was delicious and we wish we could have stayed longer. "
