    A really nice find that we would be glad to use again.

    There was really nothing that we did not like. One would have to be pretty fussy to find something to complain about.

    The room which was allocated to us was nicely located and easily accessible by ramp from the parking and the pool was nearby. It was very clean and comfortable. We took a glass of wine out to the table in the garden courtyard and it was most pleasant. The breakfast buffet was so generous, interesting and enjoyable that we didn't explore hot breakfast. Andrew's attention to all details was great.

    As a discerning solo female traveller, Waterstone Lodge exceeded all my expectations.

    There was nothing I didn't like about my stay.

    In a word, sublime! The Waterstone Lodge possesses the perfect combination between effortlessly stylish and unassuming comfort that other guest houses can only aspire to achieve. Every element has been thoughtfully masterminded with quality at the heart of every decision; from weighted throws and crisp linen to the chilled music that invites you to languish in the splendour of the place, whilst Andrew conjures up (with aplomb, I might add) the most sensational breakfast in the open plan kitchen/diner. You won’t find a better Guest House breakfast. Believe me. Nor will you find a more gracious host in Andrew, who embodies the spirit of hospitality. He kindly found some last-minute accommodation for myself, then took the time to follow up with my new host that I have arrived safely. Andrew has not only nailed the hospitality ‘brief’, but he has also taken it to new heights. Waterstone Lodge has been firmly placed in my ‘top-drawer’ of places to visit when I return next year.
