Lovely small boutique hotel with well appointed rooms

Pros: This hotel bed and breakfast was lovely. Unfortunately when we arrived it was pouring rain so we could not enjoy the pool. The facilities within the cottage are lovely and there is a cozy living room you can hang out in and enjoy a glass of wine or a coffee The staff was attentive and helpful. You could walk into town ( about 15 minutes) but with the raid we took an UBER 10 buck Cons: Nothing

Great place--would go back to it any time!

Fiona, the person who received us upon arrival, was incredibly nice and informative. The rest of the staff was also very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was fantastic, as was the room and general atmosphere of the guesthouse. It is also located in a very peaceful neighborhood.

Sportswear that we had laid out outside to dry suddenly hung clean/dry inside when it started raining. Very thoughtful. For us, the free bikes available are a super nice addition.
