The breakfast was friendly and tasty as we shared our table with American tourists who were on holidays here. Our only difficulty was to park the car as our host had broken her wrist and... More

This was our second visit and was just as good if not better than the first. Doreen is such a wonderful hostess and keeps an immaculate B+B. Breakfast is a must and keeps you full all day. Would reccommend to everyone. Thanks so much Doreen for making our stay so enjoyable and comfortable.
