Not close to town. Bus took too long, so we used an Uber to and from property daily. Beds were hard and covers were musty. No lounging area or beverages available. Was presented with a hot Coke when I asked. The food was good and available when you requested. The bathroom was a good size and clean.

5 out of 5
We had an amazing 2 night stay at Blinkbonny House. Our host, Sean, went out of the way to make sure that we were comfortable and had everything that we needed. Our room was clean, spacious and quiet. Our breakfasts were made to order and were delicious. We left our car parked at the Blinkbonny and took an Uber into the city center during our stay. It was approximately 7 pounds or so each trip but well worth not having to deal with the parking and traffic. I would definitely stay at Blinkbonny again. It felt like a home away from home!
