    Met by host. Very friendly and welcoming. Lots of wee extras, like biscuits, drinks, and plenty left in fridge for breakfast ... enough to take a packed lunch (with hosts permission).

    Wonderful host, very clean efficiently designed suite in a good location, off-street parking.

    A small table or larger vanity in the bathroom is needed to put your toiletry bag on. Although very comfortable, the bed is on the small side for two adults.

    Th owner is a wonderful accommodating and friendly host that makes you feel at home. The rooms are on the first floor with private entrances at the back of the residence. The house was designed and constructed as a B&B, with smartly designed features. Although the room is on the smaller side, it is efficiently designed with a nice size bathroom. Full-size tub and shower. A very large assortment of quality breakfast items provided in the room kitchen nook. Very convenient off-street parking in front of the B&B. Very comfortable bed and linens. Impeccably clean. Plenty of USB ports on each side of the bed, motion senor foot lights in the hall and bathroom, great design features.

    Nothing !

    Everything was perfect from the beginning when we met Gillian to all the food that was in the fridge and the cleanliness of the apartment ! What a pleasure to take a bath after a day of hiking ! From the house, you can make a beautiful hike to see the beach and the New Slains Castle ! Thank you again for everything !

    A tiny bit hard to find, so look at the photos or be prepared (we weren’t) but Gillian actually came out to meet us. What service!!! It is tucked right up against the side of the river with a shared driveway.

    11 out of 10 - new and beautiful, with the host making everything feel luxurious. Massive bathtub and comfy bed. The breakfast was all pre-setup in the mini-fridge so we could do what we wanted when we were ready. We felt bad that we ended up being late due to weather and Gillian was so accommodating - meeting us out front in the rain!

    Very clean and wonderful attention to detail. Right by the river so lovely sleeping with the window open, listening to the water. Great position with two places to eat and the beach within walking distance. Gillian was very welcoming and left a very full continental breakfast. Highly recommended.

The room was spotless and fresh and full of little details that made our stay very comfortable. There was even a bottle of Prosecco for us!
