October 2005 - 19 December 2007  (Yes he stayed that long)

Having stayed here for a long duration of 2 years I can honestly say this is the best Bed & Breakfast I have stayed in, and boy is this a good endorsement I can assure you. I could be labeled as a bit of a connoisseur in the hotelier business. 

Gordon & Viv's hospitality is second to none. The rooms are always clean and fresh and invitingly comforting after a hard days work. Viv's cooked breakfast is the best in the area and evening time is tranquil and quiet ensuring a good nights sleep is guaranteed. Best Regards                                                                                                                                  Bob Hagan
