There are two double rooms with en-suite bathrooms. and a twin room that can be made into a superking on request. We also have a single room with a pull out ped underneath. A toddler bed is also on hand should you need to keep a little one closer and a cot and high chair is also available. Wi-Fi, Smart TVs, and board games will keep you connected and a desk area is available for any important work that cannot wait.


At Igloo, we believe in responsible tourism, and we take our eco values seriously. That's why we have partnered with Trees for Life to plant a tree in our Caledonian forest grove every time you book with us.


We also strive to support the local community. That's why we shop locally and use sustainable cleaning materials for guest use during their stay. We are also proud sponsors of the local ice rink and other community causes. The Shambles has some great artwork from local artists which really showcase the area.
