Very good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Don't stay here. Photos in ad did not match room. The room was on the lower ground of a split-level house with the back of the room being the side of a hill. The room had a very strong unhealthy musty smell that irritated my sinsus. Was told there was a shared kitchenette & there isn't. Room guide indicated there was Wifi but there isn't. Manager did not respond to my request for assistance with WiFi password nor for use of kitchenette. Zero service. Seriously overpriced. Could not wait to leave.
This property is not an "upmarket B&B"
It should be considered as a Hostel. There is a separste bedroom & bathroom, however all other amenties are shared. Laundry facillities are in another building down the road & Wifi is not free.

Positives: Price and location were great, self check in and check out, bed linen and towels were fresh and bed quite comfortable. Negatives: Room smelled musty and there was visible mould in the bathroom, I could hear other occupants walking around and talking in the adjoining room.

Very bad smell in the whole property. Feel like mould smell. Bedding is humid. I can't breathe properly in the room. So I almost didn't get any sleep that night. It's called B&B, but doesn't offer any breakfast. No wifi at all.

Nice peaceful setting, easy check in. Room was comfortable. Venetion blinds and window sills had thick covering of dust...time for a spring clean.
Easy check in process, had a pool (too cold to use while i was there), It would be an ideal place for a group booking as 3 rooms connect to the common room. The downside to that is, if rooms are booked by random people, it can be loud - if you are looking for a quiet night.

Couldn’t get through with internet disrupting booking. So booked in elsewhere, then received a booking confirmation from B &B later. Tried to immediately cancel. Would not accept cancellation and charged full amount when we never even stayed there. Lady on phone helpful, said we should be able to successfully cancel booking but got charged anyway.

Advertised as a B&B. There was no breakfast provided or the ability to order breakfast. Very low water pressure in the shower

It’s a lovely property, but the mattress are terrible, they are uncomfortable, the mattress need to be more supportive. After sleeping on those mattresses for 2 nights , my back was hurting.
The parking was a bit tight, but ok
Really had a good stay here. Very clean, great amenities and staff provided great service.
Rooms very well equipped and spacious.
Conveniently located and very close to Atherton, I would happily stay here again.
