Lovely stay

We were only staying for 1 night, arriving late and checked out early but was grateful for the clear instructions and in advance and communication. The room was lovely- it was clean, had tea and coffee facilities and the temperature was great. The location was fantastic.

A great little B&B - lovely room and spotlessly clean. Breakfast is proper and cooked to order. Host is most welcoming. Ideal for the harbour area restaurants and bars.

Beautiful room, interaction with owners was polite and minimal and we felt comfortable during our stay, met the owner in person when leaving and she was very lovely. Information of the surrounding area was available in the room which we found really useful. Lovely location and really central. Great choice for food and drink
