excellent breakfastearly breakfastwonderful hostsloud knockingupset owneraggressive behaviour
Liz and chris are wonderful hosts. the b&b is clean and cute, and my room was very comfortable! i was in a single room. it had everything i needed. breakfast was excellent too, and liz was kind enough to make sure there was early breakfast available for me when i had to travel early.
as i was preparing to leave before 10 am, i had an urgent need to use the restroom. while in the restroom, someone knocked on the door at 10:02. the knocking continued, and grew increasingly loud and aggressive. when i came downstairs, the owner was visibly upset and began yelling that checkout was at 10 am!

rushed serviceinconvenient parking
the breakfast service felt rushed. they seemed eager to clear plates almost before i finished (and i don't eat slowly!). also, the on-street parking situation was not ideal. it was tricky finding a spot close to the hotel and i had to walk a little further than i wanted with my luggage. a dedicated parking area would be a big plus.

The location was good. It was just a short walk to the town center.
I was disappointed by the parking situation. There were no reserved spaces, and it was sometimes difficult to find a spot close to the hotel. the room service was often slow.

comfortable bedgarden viewhot showermany choices
i stayed in a single room with a garden view. the room size was good for my needs. the bed offered a comfortable sleep, and i found the shower provided ample hot water. breakfast presented many choices. the hosts are very cute (i was grateful for their warmth). i would certainly return.
the only minor issue was the limited availability of parking spaces during peak hours.
