A very warm friendly welcome and warm atmosphere. The room was spacious, comfortable and well equipped. The availability of parking on the driveway was helpful. Breakfast was excellent.We were only there for one night but it would be a great base to explore the local area.

Our room looked recently decorated, was cleaned to the highest standard and had everything there that a visitor could possibly want. The couple who run this bed and breakfast are friendly and knowledgable about the area, and the breakfast they provided was cooked with local produce and was delicious.
There was private parking for our car to the side of the property, and The Red Townhouse is approximately seven to ten minutes walk from the town centre.

Really friendly B & B. Service was excellent and rooms were clean. Sleeping at night was great as it was nice and quiet. Local area is within a few minutes walk and the owners just let you get on with things. Breakfast was awesome.
