Thank you Fay and Lindsay for a welcoming and friendly stay at your B&B. The muesli at breakfast was superb and the dinner also wonderful. My bed was very comfy and my room clean and fresh. Located close to the inner city but very quiet and relaxing. Thank you. More

A lovely b&b, three beautifully appointed double rooms with ensuites. Very friendly hosts. Quiet, pretty location, quick walk to local shopping centre/cinema complex with restaurants and cafe. Free airport pick up was appreciated, as was the ability to have a short, private meeting there that morning with a local colleague. Highly recommended place to stay. More
