My stay at this bed and breakfast was truly memorable! From the moment I arrived, I felt like a valued guest. The location is fantastic, just a short walk from the beach and downtown. The room was comfortable and the garden views added a lovely touch. However, there were a few downsides; the cooking odors could be overwhelming at times, and the cluttered decor didn't meet my expectations based on the website. Overall, I enjoyed my experience but hope for some improvements in the future.

I had a mixed experience at this B&B. On one hand, Freda, the owner, was incredibly warm and welcoming, providing delicious breakfasts that kept us energized throughout the day.

The accommodations were cozy but slightly cramped with a lot of decor. Overall, I appreciated the hospitality but was frustrated by the service during a stressful situation.
