The good - nice location top of the road. comfortable beds.
The bad - Had to pay before seeing the 'room'
The room is a converted garage - the only I stayed in that didn't feel like a room. the 1st thing you notice is the garage door rails filling you view as you enter. a lot of furnitures including a folding bed and a matters just being there. felt more like a storage unit than a room.
Breakfast? - bread/toast, cereal, yogurt, fruit & 1 kind of juice and not 100% juice. not an egg or even piece of cheese in sight.
A bad experience - not worth the money. the worse B&BJune 2016
I stayed with Joyce for 2 night and she's really nice, she provide everything you need so you don't need to worry about anything
Just bring your clothes and of course your money and everything's good!April 2016
I lived with Joyce and Dave for 4 weeks. It was such an enjoyable experience. I am very grateful that I found them on homestay. They are such warm welcoming people. The highlight of my trip there would be the meals which I opted to have every weekday. It was always filled with laughter and good conversation with other guests. They also hire the nicest people who run their BnB for them who cleaned the rooms and gave us new towels everyday. Would definitely go back
