Waterfront Bliss

kind staff waterfront location delicious breakfast fresh fruit
The staff showed such kindness, ready to assist with any request. The guesthouse faces the waterfront, which I adored. Breakfast each morning contained delicious options, such as the fresh fruit plate, so I ate well.
The hallway noise carried easily into rooms.

helpful staff perfect location lack privacy noisy shower
The staff were very helpful. They helped us find the local GP. They frequently asked how my daughter was doing. Generally, the hotel is nice and well kept. The location is perfect.
The ground floor room lacked privacy. It seemed like a children's nursery was just outside the door for hours. The adjacent room's shower was very noisy. The TV did not work.
