Really good B&B Experience

italian coffee maker fresh fruit town centre convenient location
The hostesses showed elegance and warmth. They offered attentive service. I found the room super clean. The breakfast included delicious coffee made in an italian coffee maker. There was a good variety of cheeses, charcuterie, and fresh fruit salad. The location is very convenient for accessing both the town centre and the beach. The breakfast had plenty to offer.
Sound proofing between rooms was not perfect. I could hear some noise from adjacent rooms.

A good stay

awesome breakfast friendly hosts
The breakfast was fantastic. Everything tasted fresh. The hosts were super friendly and cute to all guests. I found overnight parking on the street right outside (very convenient). I fell in love with the decoration. There were wooden robins, which i loved.
The shower tray corners needed cleaning. I noticed some mildew, which needs attention. The reception for TV was poor, and the picture kept breaking up.

delicious breakfast homemade bread missing desk small space
I found the breakfast delicious. The gracious hostess made a lunch for me to go as I needed nourishment along the way. The homemade bread was the best I've ever had. I know the hostess makes each guest feel special. I will recommend this place for years to come.
The room was fine it lacked a desk. Parking is on the road there is no car park. I found the space right outside on both nights I stayed a bit small. I think that adding those elements would increase my satisfaction.
