    Great location just a 15 minutes walk from the station, but a very easy walk. Close to the home there are plenty shops, food places, takeaways. House was clean and tidy. Comfortable beds and sofa. TV with streaming so we were able to relax with a film in the evenings. Host was very friendly and checking in information was clear . Useful household manual.

    What a great find. A proper B&B in all the right ways. A large city centre town house sympathetically laid out whilst retaining great features. Plenty of permit parking nearby. A great hostess and a fabulous breakfast offering. Thoroughly recommended.

    The property was huge, much bigger than I had expected after seeing the pictures. The place was clean and so beautifully decorated. It was great to have control over the heating so we could adjust it to our liking. The host communicated clearly with me and was available for questions, he kindly provided a high chair on request. Location was great, quiet area, but walking distance to town.

    Especially this year, prices have skyrocketed - but at Abby Guest House, you get a comfy room in a charming old house for a price that makes sense. Good value for money, and all very clean. Everything might not be the latest most modern fitting (although a lot of the place appears to have been renovated recently) but it all works properly, which isn't something I can say for every other hotel's bathroom! The hosts are friendly, make an excellent breakfast, and are very accommodating.
