Guided to the Star
We were welcomed so well from our first meeting at reception from the staff in the bar who gave us advice on the various drinks available. The food was tasty and delivered promptly and with always a few words of welcome. The rooms were comfortable and clean. We found the Guiding Star to be very friendly and we would recommend it for a stay.

My fourth time here, and it's consistently great!
The rooms are always comfortable and spotless, with all the essentials. The staff are incredibly friendly, helpful, and accommodating.
Love the convenience of having a restaurant, cafe, and bottle shop on site, plus they'll deliver dinner right to your room! Plenty of parking available too.
Always a positive experience; I'll happily stay again!
