We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Celicall. We had a wedding at Mar Lodge and the location was ideal to travel to it. The room was very clean, comfortable and the breakfast was delicious. The couple were very friendly and helpful as I had forgotten my hairdryer and the landlady offered the use of one. The landlady gave us comprehensive information about the area and the restaurants. Would certainly recommend for a relaxing stay.

It was just ideal. Spotlessly clean, lovely location and the midges didn’t come out either which is always a bonus.
