“I see definite potential, even though some areas need updating; the King room, with its comfortable bed and private, albeit detached, bathroom, strikes me as a good option. The host seems genuinely welcoming, and the proximity to a local pub adds to the appeal of experiencing Bluff's friendly atmosphere. While noise from the bar could be a concern, this spot has the bones of a charming, historically-rooted stay.”
