Negative Reviews
negative:
Traffic noise can spoil restful stays.
Cobb Lane Bed and Breakfast sits on a busy street, which means guests will have to deal with the sounds of traffic. Sirens from emergency vehicles are particularly a problem and can ruin the peace and quiet offered by the property.
negative:
Guests aren't able to adjust private room temps.
Individual rooms don't have separate temperature controls, so guests will have to adjust to the settings of the hosts. According to reviews, the owners like to run the air conditioning at full blast, so some people are a little chilly depending on personal preference.
negative:
Parking can be tight.
There isn't much parking available around the Cobb Lane Bed and Breakfast. Guests are able to park behind the accommodation, but these spaces are very narrow.
