Great place. Rooms are comfortable and well attended to. It's an easy going environment with a forever open front door. Service throughout was faultless and Gavin does a fabulous cooked breakfast! We had a lovely week there and would return there if back in the region. We are really missing the friendly atmosphere and all round happiness this place exudes. The guest house, it's staff and the village too is welcoming and homely.

We highly recommend Springfield Guest House. The room was clean and specious and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. We also had a meal across the street and that was nice and convenient. Look forward to going back.
