Mount View Hotel B&B

10/10 Excellent
"The room and bathroom were very clean. There was a great range of tea, coffee, hot chocolate, biscuits and bottle water. The bathroom was stocked with plenty soap, shower gel, shampoo and body lotion. The bed and pillows were exceptionally comfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was first class. There was a fabulous choice of fresh berries, fruit, cereals, breads, jams, flapjacks, yogurts, fresh fruit juices, bottomless tea and coffee. Unfortunately, I checked out very early so missed the cooked breakfast. The bus stops outside and there is a car park next to the hotel. The hotel and breakfast offer exceptional value for money and the staff provide a great service."
