linda, bob and shelly were so attentive, i felt right at home (especially with their helpful tips about the area). the guesthouse was super clean, a true testament to their hard work. breakfast was an absolute treat, with the highest quality ingredients and bob's perfect eggs.

i had booked a specific room type hoping for a view, but i was allocated a different room on arrival, a little disappointing.
