Shady Lady Bed and Breakfast

Does staying in a slightly dilapidated, peacock infested former brothel in the middle of absolute nowhere sound awesome to you? It did to me, and I appreciated all of the associated quirks, but its definitely not for everyone. Pros - from my perspective: - The place is very dog friendly, which was great for us...our two small terriers made friends with the resident canines and were very pleased to briefly become a menace to peacock society. - Speaking of the latter, there are about 50 peacocks on the property, they are very vocal and social, which I found to be both interesting and high comedy. - Staff was super friendly and accommodating. Potential cons for others: - The terms "comfortable" and "clean" are subjective and relative. As someone who spent half of their life touring in obscure punk bands and the associated sleeping accommodations I found the space to be comfortable and clean enough for our expectations and standards...but it was neither luxurious nor pristine on those fronts....I was not bummed about it but If my grandmother was staying there she would have been...back to the first sentence of this review, if you think that description sounds cool, then this is the place for you....if you think that description sound like a nightmare, then you'd be better off looking elsewhere.

This place is fabulous! Loved Paul, Jennifer, and Nigel.. What an amazing stay! Very clean.

I didn't partake. too late...I wanted to get o the road

I wasn't prepared for the atmosphere. Just needed a place to sleep.

Staff was fine. Everything else is a disaster!

Very friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was great. We will be back.

The location is perfect if you want to experience being right out in the desert. The family who run it are lovely and very welcoming and accommodating. The breakfast was also very good.

The main issue was the bed in the room we had booked. I believe it is the paradise room. The bed was comfortable but very noisy so the slightest movement woke either one of us up. The result was a terrible night’s sleep. Also be aware that when it mentions kitchen facilities this is in the owner’s part of the house. However they are very accommodating in letting you use the facility as well as providing ice. You also need to be happy around peacocks because there are quite a lot of them!

They were so kind it's a little house so it's more homey feeling then a regular hotel

Enjoyed a lot staying at the property. Very warm hosts.

Breakfast was great.
