Averon House

It was such a wonderfully quaint and quirky place. A house full of memories! Joe was a fantastic host: very friendly, incredibly helpful and had so many brilliant stories.

The breakfast was the best in class and better than the 4 star hotels we stayed at earlier in our holiday. Our host was generous, entertaining and friendly.

Wonderful host, charming house and room

Sergio was just so welcoming and helpful in all aspects. He truly wanted to make our 2 night visit enjoyable. The property is in easy walking distance of the centre and parking is available on the street. When we had a bit of clothing mishap, Sergio was kind to offer to wash the item for us. There are many breakfast options offered, though you best be up bright and early!

The bed was a bit too soft for me personally but had plenty of blankets and comfortable linens.

The host is by far the best thing about this place. A true gentleman, friendly and extremely helpful, with always a good story to tell - we especially appreciated him driving us into town to collect our hire car as we were running quite late. The house is old and full of character, certainly not your minimalist and sterile chain hotel, but we liked it as it is. The room was spacious and the bed comfortable (although I am no longer used to old spring beds so some adjustments were needed, to avoid waking the wife at every turn). Nice breakfast of home cooked porridge, fruit, toast and jam and, although we didn't take advantage of it, it was nice to have the option to make your own cheese sandwich to take with you.

Sadly it was quite cold in the room - especially the first day or two. The radiators were hot downstairs in the breakfast room /lounge but barely lukewarm upstairs, so possibly a plumbing issue. The other guests asked for an electric heater, we resorted to blowing hot air under the bedcovers with the hairdryer to keep warm. A shower head holder would have been useful in the bath tub instead of having to hand hold the shower head. Being picky, coffee was a touch weak and it would have been good to have eggs or other cooked options for breakfast, but not a biggie.

Accueil formidable par Sergio, qui a été un hôte absolument fantastique !
