tasty breakfast

lovely garden view

narrow stairs

Had a wonderful time here, especially enjoying the tasty breakfast options and the lovely garden view from our room. After a day of exploring, it was nice to relax on the patio or curl up with a good book in our cozy space. Just a heads-up, the stairs to our room were a bit narrow, but it didn’t diminish our experience at all! 🌼

convenient location

cute host

limited breakfast

simple options

More pros than cons, but still.

The location made it easy to catch various buses into the city. The host was cute, always eager to offer tips on local attractions and keep our rooms immaculate.

The breakfast options were simple and unvaried, which might not suit every palate looking for more substantial choices.

Lovely place to stay. Good location on the outskirts of the city - we walked in to the city centre a couple of times which took about 30mins. On the times we were feeling less energetic, the b&b is on a main bus route where you...
