My stay was incredibly enjoyable, and the facilities and hosting were 5-star! I wanted for nothing. Comfortable room with all the amenities (and a bed I could actually fit my 1.9 m frame in) and peaceful surroundings where you wake up to birds chirping in the garden. Denzil and Gys were excellent hosts and went out of their way to make my stay as enjoyable as possible. Being a small establishment, I really appreciated the small touches, from recommending restaurants to adjusting breakfast times to fit my work program. Felt more like staying over with old friends than a B&B.

I was met by the owners who were very warm and friendly. They welcomed me to their beautifully appointed and decorated establishment. The location of the guest house was very convenient and central and I found the room to be very comfortable with an excellent bathroom with a shower and bath. I would highly recommend this place for your next stay and would definitely return when I next visit the area.

From the very first phone call to the last goodbye, Denzil and Gys were thoughtful, considerate and accommodating, way much more than one would hope hosts could ever be. The BnB is a veritable treasure trove including the presence of Denzil and Gys. Lovingly decorated, full of inspirational signs, quotes, books etc the BnB is a haven of tranquility in and amongst the many collectibles, memorabilia and antiquities. Delicious breakfast, warm comfortable beds and attentive service - all adds up to a fabulous stay.
