We stayed at Kirkwood for 2 nights on Friday the 4th and Saturday the 5th May 2012.

Just spent two nights with my mates at the Kirkwood, it was very nice with a great breakfast - the rooms were very clean and comfortable and the location was good.

This is a great B&B. I just felt like I was in my Home. Both Mags and Boyd are very friendly and great food.. The place is very close to the Village centre. Plus they told me some paths for the best views.. Nobody does that!! It was amazing..
