"Comfortable, relaxed, friendly and entertaining locals."

9.0

Breakfast was first class, loved watching the birds while we ate. Host was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Shared bathroom with other guests did not cause us a problem. Bed and room very comfortable. House situated in peaceful area overlooking the harbour. Would stay there again.

Nothing to dislike.

"Prima voor 1 nacht goede locatie"

Aardige gastvrouw, erg veel spullen in deze B en B, maar het bed en het ontbijt waren voortreffelijk.

Erg ouderwets ingericht, wel charmant gedaan.

La posizione

Purtroppo devo segnalare un’esperienza di soggiorno alquanto negativa. Arrivati alla struttura, al momento del check-in, ci siamo resi conto di un profondo stato di disordine e soprattutto di sporcizia, in particolar modo in cucina (come riportato nelle foto allegate). Le stoviglie riposte nel mobile erano sporche, così come il piano cottura, e la cappa presentava uno spesso strato di unto con insetti morti appicciati. Nella nostra camera c’era un mini frigo spento con all’interno del latte rancido, e nell’ingresso un altro mini frigo spento, pieno di muffa maleodorante. Inoltre abbiamo notato che molti prodotti che sarebbero stati serviti per la colazione del giorno successivo, erano conservati in maniera inadeguata sia in frigo che fuori (marmellate già aperte tenute stabilmente fuori frigo) e gli odori della cucina erano tutt’altro che invitanti. Abbiamo ritenuto sufficiente la pulizia di letto e bagno, e dal momento che era molto tardi abbiamo trascorso lì la notte. Tuttavia, visto il rischio igienico sanitario abbiamo preferito non usufruire della colazione inclusa nel prezzo. Non abbiamo contestato nulla all’host sul momento, per evitare imbarazzi ad una persona anziana ed in evidente difficoltà. Segnaliamo questa situazione anche per evitare che i prossimi clienti possano vedersi compromessa la vacanza, sia a livello di comfort, sia a livello igienico-sanitario. Visto il disagio subito, ho richiesto il rimborso tramite Booking.com, al quale l’host non ha ancora risposto.

"Great location.....not so good stayover on our NC500 trip"

The location and the friendly host On road parking outside the house Breakfast

The house is not as the photos suggest....they must have been taken some time ago. The place is quirky, but it is dirty. The bathroom needs a good clean, and everything is covered in cobwebs. No where felt clean, and I would not necessarily recommend this B and B, which is a shame as the host is a lovely helpful lady with fantastic local knowledge who was a pleasure to talk to.
