Good guest house with breakfast that I want again
Nice guest house - well cleaned - good staff - excellently cooked breakfast - fried egg just right - moist mushrooms - sausages to perfection - good bacon - and a properly done potato scone, I want to go back - it is breakfast time.

The property needs a bit of TLC on the outside of the windows. I am not a fan of nobody on site, although the information given to gain access works seamlessly.
My room was comfortable especially the bed. The bathroom needed a deeper clean around the shower.
Breakfast in the morning was delicious and a lovely choice.

Lovely quiet place
A very straightforward remote check in by phone on arrival. Very quiet despite being on a main road. We were amazed how quiet when we saw lots of other guests at breakfast time. Lovely room, great sleep. Thanks

The property looks amazing from the outside. There was a telephone check in
Im not a fan of that. I had a down stairs room right beside the entrance door. You can hear everyone talking in the hall plus enter and leaving. It was old fashioned inside but very comfortable.

Good experience.
I have stayed at Rivendell before and was happy to return. I was aware of the set up at this guest house in terms of the meals served.
I found the cleanliness of the property to be very good.

Lovely cozy atmosphere. However the room was cold and damp. Lack of hangers or hook in bathroom would have been much appreciated. Lack of space to lay luggage. Draws in dresser very difficult to access without moving furniture.

You must have a mobile phone.
This was better on the inside than it looked outside.
We arrived in the rain and were surprised at no staff on site. You need your mobile phone to call for the key box code and to be told which key to take.
Outside looked a bit shabby but inside was ok. Original art deco interior was interesting. Room was clean but needs better curtain rail. Tea coffee and bottle of water. Quiet.
Breakfast was good. Personal service cooked to order after buffet cereal etc.
Good value as we were just staying a night on the way to Belfast.

Would I go back ???
Yes, this place was clean and the rooms well presented. Staff were friendly and helpful.
Although this guest house is on a busy road, it was so quiet.
Highly recommended.

Quite a noisy room with noise from other guests rooms and the road (seemed to be a main road into town).
No reception on site but easy instructions received by phone on arrival.
No communal seating area inside or out ( shame given the large, sunny backyard.
Amazing water pressure in the shower.

Easy to sign in if no one there. First class service, especially in our circumstances for a family bereavement. No fuss. Excellent parking facilities. Breakfast was very good indeed. Would recommend whether holiday, business, or pleasure.

Stayed for two nights, travel lodge it isn't. Quite quaint in an oldie worldy way. A bit threadbare in places. Don't expect the personal touch on booking in as there no-one there to greet you. You have to phone them to get a cade for key box then let yourselves in. Ist cooked full breakfast was dreadful. Not very warm, bacon was a dried up, and hard,two sausages were black and overcooked. The second day the cooked breakfast was well presented and delicious.

Can't comment on check-in staff as there wasn't any, need to call a number to check yourself in.
Bathroom was clean and modern, the room however needs a major refresh and upgrade. Carpet was very dusty and we had lingering pet/dust allergy symptoms.
Breakfast chef was very nice and welcoming and made your breakfast to order.
