    exceptional breakfast options
    cramped room
    no soundproofing

    The breakfast options are exceptional and locally sourced.

    Our room felt cramped with slanted ceilings, making it unbearable for tall guests. The bathroom was ridiculously small, only a few square feet with no space to maneuver. We could hear everything through the walls, including our neighbors' alarms and conversations, which completely disrupted our stay. Despite being marketed as a charming B&B, it felt more like a cramped hotel with limited amenities, especially considering the hefty price we paid.

    delicious breakfast
    artistic design
    limited parking
    long walk
    small room

    The breakfast was a highlight with delicious brioche French toast and fantastic Colombian coffee. The artistic design of the common areas created a cozy atmosphere. However, the parking situation was troublesome due to limited spaces, and the location, while close to attractions, involved a slightly longer walk than expected. Additionally, the room felt smaller than anticipated, which made moving around a bit cramped.

    delicious breakfast
    cozy lounge
    small bathroom

    We loved how Daniella took the time to share local dining gems with us, and the breakfast spread was just out of this world, especially the homemade jams! The cozy lounge area was perfect for unwinding after long days and the beautiful decor made it feel really special. The bathroom could use a bit more space, but that didn't take away from our wonderful experience, definitely try the Irish breakfast! 🍳

    delicious breakfast
    proximity to attractions

    The B&B is beautifully decorated and offers comfortable rooms. We enjoyed the delicious breakfast with soft jazz in the background. There's easy access to local attractions, especially walks to the nearby promenade.

    In my wife’s opinion, the room felt a bit cramped for our family of four.
