The breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice. We also ate there during the evening. The choice on the menu was great as were the meals! The bedroom was a fabulous size and the bathroom looked newly renovated, but get those towel hooks up Ian 😁. The staff were amazing and very helpful as were the hosts. We'd definitely return if we are in the area.

    I liked the cozy atmosphere of the Victoria Inn, the friendliness of the staff. My bed was very comfortable and the room including the bathroom was very clean. I really appreciated that I was provided two bottles of water everyday free of charge, as well as a selection of tea bags and coffee-

    The staff who were from another inn to cover were fabulous. They worked really hard supporting the guests needs as best they could. Evening meal choices limited. However, what was ordered was fresh and well presented.
