Superb place to stay

I had such a warm welcome from Bonnie and her family. My room was lovely, everything i needed. The bed was lovely and comfortable too. Lots of breakfast choice and the cooked breakfast was delicous. The service was great, nothing was too much trouble. The location of the guest house is a few mins walk from the centre so perfectly situated. Aa a solo traveller i would definatly recommend Holly House to stay and I would go back and stay for sure. Totally recommend to friends and family

Room was big, shower was good and nice little seating area in the bedroom. There is a lovely lounge for guests to use, which we made use of after a nice evening out.
