We stayed at Hillcrest during the book festival. Not only was the stay wonderful (friendliest hosts, gorgeous food, lavish room with a super king size bed) but we were lucky enough to find the book festival putting all sorts of authors and other interesting people here.
We arrived and were shown directly to our room (Burns). It was wonderful: enormous super king size bed, comfy chairs and a full complement of teas and coffees. From the window, a view across the sea. Dinner in the evening quickly followed: my vegetarian partner well catered for and some wonderful food. I have not slept better in years than on the wonderful bed. At breakfast, there were many options and each one of them cooked with aplomb.
I cannot rate this place highly enough. Very relaxing, wonderful hosts and I can’t wait to come back!
