Negative Reviews
negative:
Breakfast proves disappointing.
Past guests have been disappointed to learn that the B&B doesn't offer a home-cooked breakfast. Instead, guests are provided with a self-serve continental breakfast, a breakfast that many have found to be inadequate and discouraging.
negative:
Absence of staff commented upon.
Unlike many traditional bed and breakfast establishments, an innkeeper or member of staff is not always on duty at this B&B. Past guests report that this absence can make check-in an awkward affair, while it has been reported that communicating with the owners is not always quick and easy.
negative:
Some bathrooms across the hall.
While each of the inn's
five guestrooms offers private bathroom facilities, not all offer en-suite
bathrooms. A number of guests have been disappointed to learn that their
bathroom is located across or down the hallway from their room.
