warm welcome, continental breakfast in room , fridge with fresh milk in room , warm

Mark United Kingdom

Travelled on my own for work, so was grateful that the B&B was in the centre of the city not far from the train station. The owner was warm and welcoming and the room was comfortable, if a little in need of a decor update. Would have preferred an ensuite, but the bathroom was clean and quiet. The breakfast service to my room was great, much appreciated. Excellent value for money.

Nicola United Kingdom

it’s cheap place to stay. there is shared bathroom but it was very cleaned. Neil is lovely and very helpful. Hot breakfast is for extra £7.5 (per person) but there were plenty of included food: 4options of different flakes, 4-5 fruit bars (I usually don’t like them but those ones were tasty), apples, bananas, buns, tea, coffee, milk, cookies. remember to have deposit or id for a key

Maria United Kingdom

Felt like going home, owner was so friendly and made you at ease straight away which is so nice especially being on your own. Thanks alot again

Jennifer United Kingdom

Had to leave early in morning but there was a breakfast tray in my room and fresh milk provided in fridge in my room 😀👍

Alexander United Kingdom

We were offered fresh fruit and also porridge on top of the breakfast already provided. It was an excellent stay and nothing was too much for our host. He also pointed us to a bar that specialises in real ales.

Jacoba United Kingdom

Location spot on for access to bus and train station, city centre, beach, you can even catch the airport bus to Duce!
