My mum and I stayed here ahead of an early morning appointment at Downe hospital. Bronagh couldn't have been more welcoming or helpful. Beds very comfy and room very clean. Bronagh brought us a pot of tea and toast very early which was a lovely touch.10/10 would recommend

Previously thought people's homes were a bit of an unknown, after a chaotic visit to Paris. However this reassured me: clean, quiet and comfortable
