The room was clean and nicely presented. The bed was comfortable, the room was private and secure. There is facilities to make your own breakfast, BYO food. Tea and coffee provided. The staff were lovely and friendly, with really fast assistance with one minor issue that was resolved in less than 3 minutes.

This property is well priced and the rooms are large, spacious and clean. And it was so quiet! Although it is advertised as having a continental breakfast, we were unable to find it. When we arrived, the carparks available were too narrow for our vehicle and we had to reverse down the driveway, which was difficult due to a lot of overhanging trees and shrubs on each side. Good value for money but not sure if it can be classified as a B&B.

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.

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.

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.
