My two night stay at this guest house was booked at very late notice by calling the owner directly.

It wasn't a B&B, but breakfast was provided in the form of tea, coffee, cereal, toast etc. The rooms were very clean and well furnished, the only downside is that ours was quite small. The stairs are very narrow and steep, and wouldn't... more
