Good location, just a short walk into the city. Nice breakfast and more than enough parking just outside. Only complaints were a very soft bed (personal preference) and a shower that lacked pressure.

Had a woderful stay at Farthings guest House. Room was really comfortable and Helen the owner was so helpful. The breakfast was superb. Situated near to the City centre and Railway station.
