Loved by The Folly Hotel guests
"The hotel is small and in a good location .we had a really comfortable room with shower and bathroom and the bed and pillows were really comfy but the star of the show was the snacks we had crisps , cereal bars , Tea cakes ,porridge , crosaants and cakes as well as fresh cows milk and a selection of tea and coffee all of which were branded so great snacks to come back to at night as well as a easy filling breakfast ."
"Love the wee fridge with fresh milk and butter! Cozy rooms with clean new bedding and soft blankets."
"The room only rate was a bit pricey at £140 per night and I definitely wouldn't list it as a hotel."

Acceptable Stay with Some Drawbacks
convenient locationprecarious showerbasic breakfast
The location proved convenient for exploring the area.
The condition of the shower was concerning. Its height made exiting precarious with wet feet. i found the continental breakfast quite basic.. it did not include hot options.

the continental breakfast kit was in the room. it was handy and satisfactory. i found it very useful to have everything ready in the morning, so i do not need to go out immediately.
