Quiet and comfortable.

We only stayed for one night but the Whitestone was quiet and contained all the amenities we required. Loved the gas fireplace that warmed us up on the wet stormy night we arrived.

Warm, cosy cottage

The cottage was very spacious but with sufficient heating to maintain a warm and cosy place to stay in the cooler months of the year. It was also very well equipped. The staff at the check-in facility were exceptional and went out of their way to advise on suitable eating places in the town and to make sure the cottage was warm and inviting on our arrival.
