friendly hostsfresh milk
The check-in process was easy. Richard and Sarah were cute hosts. Our room was spacious and clean. The bed was quite comfortable. I found great tea and coffee making facilities with biscuits (nice touch!) and chocolates each day. A mini fridge with fresh milk was included. The breakfast choices are varied, and everything was cooked fresh.
My shower had a slight temperature regulation issue.

excellent stay!

wonderful hostorganized guesthousefresh milkcold dribble
i found richard and sarah to be wonderful hosts, as they maintain a well-organized guest house. they seemed to have considered every detail. the room included fresh milk readily available and chocolates replenished daily! they kindly provided cushions for our visit to the minack theatre.
my partner mentioned their vegetarian breakfast felt a little uninspired, although still acceptable. the shower provided a cold dribble, despite following detailed instructions. i found multiple instructions around the room, a minor personal preference.
