Lovely property in a great position for the Town, quay, transport and all amenities. Our room was lovely, and was a good size for a couple. It had a great view of the local church from our window and had everything we could need for our stay including a small fridge. The bed was fine and the lighting was particularly good, plus the room had a folder with every piece of information you could need about the Town and the local area. Jenny was friendly and very helpful and advised that if we needed anything we could just call her. Really lovely property and would definitely stay again.

    Welcomed by Doug with tea and a slice of cake. A small clean room but adequate for my needs. Good shower. Doug is a good host and the breakfasts were good. Freshly cooked while chatting. Great location for anyone like me who didn't come by car as there is a bus stop right outside. Had a lovely weekend thank you Doug.

    Lovely Hosts Very clean and great attention to detail the b & b has everything you need and more. The beds are very comfortable, and the private bathroom had a good range of quality products. The breakfast was excellent with a good choice again using quality ingredients The Wi-fi was fine and I got a good 4G signal on 3 Network. I have stopped at many boutique hotels that do not come up to the standard achieved by Martin & Cristina and would definitely recommend and book there again.

    Great Host with great communication from host Accommodation met our expectations and we spent two comfortable nights here. We would recommend this accommodation for a short break or a longer family break in the area. We did not make use of the facilities on site as they were all booked during our stay which was a last minute get away. We did visit the sports bar and enjoyed a drink whilst watching the football game and we also went to the pizza shop on site which was good.
