One of the best bed and breakfasts I’ve ever stayed at. Rooms are super cute and clean and the area is convenient but still quiet, and safe. Simon and his team are also incredible and the breakfast is so good!! I can’t get enough of this place and would definitely come back.

Symon was an exceptional host, the breakfast each morning was fantastic it really set us up for the day. It was easy to get a bus into the center. If you want to walk it that is also doable takes about 30mins. Fabulous spot to go up to the Pub and have a nice meal. Location is perfect. The room and bed comfortable. Thsnks Symon for the great stay. It does have steps up to the room but not a problem for us.

Lovely guest home

We loved our stay!! The guest house is so charming and our room was beautiful. Bed was very comfortable and the room immaculately clean. Breakfast was delicious and we appreciated the cold water and snacks available outside of breakfast time. The guest house is in quick walking distance to the bus stops and Simon was very helpful with recommendations and helping us figure out how to navigate the town. My favorite part was the lovely garden in the back. I spend an wonderful few hours reading in the relaxing garden. Highly recommend this lovely guest house. Can’t wait to return some day!
