A friend of mine and I stayed at this guesthouse for 5 nights in June 2011. We arrived early in the morning, at about 9 o’clock, but the owner Trish gave us the room immediately. It was clean and sunny, the bed was really comfortable, and the bathroom facilities were OK. Breakfast was tasty and sufficient (if you choose the... More

The breakfast was the best we have ever had in any guest house or hotel (Waldorf NYC & Burj Al Arab UAE included). Hash browns were also included with the breakfast,... More

My husband and I stayed in a room to the front of the property, very basic room in need of upgrading. The windows rattled all night and the road was very noisy. The bedding and towels were very worn with no toiletries provided. The owner failed to tell us what time breakfast was at when we checked in so when... More
