Everything was perfect. Ivybank was a great find beautifully decorated , spacious room and a modern bathroom. Gary and Nigel were the perfect hosts, very friendly with good banter. Breakfast was amazing. Wish we could have stayed longer, will definitely be back.

William United Kingdom

The room was spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated. The information in the room, the amenities tray, and the bed and bathroom linen were all superb quality. Breakfast was delicious- had our stay been on the weekend we would certainly have booked dinner.

Eleanor United Kingdom

Very comfy bed and large spacious room. Varied option for breakfast. Very tasty cooked breakfast.

James United Kingdom

Our room was extremely comfortable and sumptuously decorated. There were lots of little extra touches such as coffee pods and chocolates from a local chocolatier. The breakfast was amazing and the choices were more like a dinner menu. My porridge with added whisky, berries and honey was totally scummy! Owners Nigel and Gary had made an extra effort to decorate the Ivybank in seasonal decorations as it was Halloween whilst we were there, including homemade spooky cupcakes! Both were extremely welcoming and very helpful. Have already booked a return visit as Ivybank is a class above the rest.
