We had a wonderful time staying at Shelbourne Villa. Val and Wayne were excellent hosts. Our large room was beautiful 10/10, the bed was comfortable, and although we were staying in a house we had total privacy. It was my first experience of a B&B and I would totally recommend this accommodation. Val and Wayne thank you so much.

Just a couple of small things. They advertise robes and hair rings and there were neither in the room. There was no way of controlling the temperature from in our room. Otherwise it was a lovely handy place to stay. The breakfast was very good

Hi & thanks for your comments. Apologies that we didn't get bathrobes into the room - had a someone not follow instructions & tie up our laundry for an excessive amount of time, causing delays. Not sure what you mean by "Hair Rings". Do you mind emailing us and clarifying? All the best and thank you for staying with us.
