    We had a wonderful stay at Inn the Bay B&B. Luke and Kylie were incredibly welcoming and provided us with great recommendations for things to do and places to eat in the area. the room was clean and perfect for our needs, and the location was fantastic, with beautiful views and easy access to the beach. the extra touches, like homemade bread for breakfast and personalized parking, made our stay even more special. We highly recommend Inn the Bay B&B to anyone visiting the area. Cons: Couldn't stay longer 😢.

    Host was great, really nice guy who took well care of us and was was very helpful. We stopped for one night during our honeymoon and even got a complimentary bottle of sparkling! The room was nice, clean and very comfortable. We were the only guests so had the place pretty much to ourselves. Location is good, just off the beach and close to where the action is. Can highly recommend and the value for money was excellent.

    We had a fabulous stay at this bed and breakfast. the location was brilliant, situated between the town and the headland. Kylie and her husband were perfect hosts, providing us with a warm and welcoming experience. One memorable moment was when Kylie gave us a lift to a BBQ so we could make it on time before it closed. Their family was lovely, with cute children. the room was fabulous, with a contemporary decor and comfortable beds. the breakfast selection was great and restocked daily. Highly recommend this place for a wonderful stay. Thank you!

    Nothing could have been better. 🙌.

    Everything was spotless, including the particularly good views of the sea. We appreciated the large queen room, which was tidy. - the facilities were quite comfortable, with an ironing set, a multi-channel TV, and a seating area. - the location was stunning and pleasant for walking around Dolphin Encounter.

    The room was spacious, clean, and had a beautiful seaside touch. The beds were incredibly comfortable and the heating kept us warm on a chilly night. The hosts, Kylie and Luke, were so accommodating and made us feel right at home. They even had a port-a-cot ready for our little one. The breakfast was great, with fresh fruit, cereal, toast, and delicious coffee. Kylie also provided us with excellent ideas and advice for things to do in the area. I highly recommend this family-friendly B&B.

    I had a wonderful stay at this lovely bed and breakfast that was just a stone's throw away from the beach. The contemporary decor of the room was impressive, and it was spotlessly clean. The bed, with two singles zipped together, was incredibly comfortable. The hosts were warm, friendly, and always went out of their way to help us during our short stay. They even recommended some great activities, like visiting the lookout for breathtaking views and exploring the fascinating museum. The refund policy for the whale watching tour was also a pleasant surprise. For dinner, we followed the host's recommendation and had an excellent meal at the Pier Hotel.

    Although it was across the road from the beach, the view from our room was somewhat obscured by a public loo and playground. However, this was only a minor inconvenience.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this B&B. the location was perfect, just across the road from the beach and a play park. the hosts were welcoming and provided great recommendations for meals and walks. the room was new and modern, with a designer walk-in shower and underfloor heating. We appreciated the extra touches like homemade bread for breakfast and fresh apples from the garden. the property was immaculately clean, and the hosts went above and beyond to make our stay special.

    I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The location is absolutely amazing, with stunning views of the snow-capped mountains and the ocean just across the street from a beautiful park. The hotel is also conveniently located near the center of town, making it easy to explore all that this area has to offer. The service here was top-notch, with the staff going above and beyond to make sure my stay was comfortable and enjoyable. The room amenities were also impressive, with everything I needed for a relaxing stay, including ironing facilities, a cozy sitting area, and a flat-screen TV. The breakfast provided was delicious, and dining in-room or in the picnic area with garden furniture was a lovely treat. The staff here really made me feel welcome and taken care of, and I would highly recommend this place to others.

    I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a luxurious and comfortable stay.

    Ik heb een fantastisch verblijf gehad in dit hotel. De locatie was perfect. Het hotel is gelegen in het hart der dingen, waardoor alle bezienswaardigheden op loopafstand te bereiken waren. Gelukkig was het hotel goed bereikbaar via het openbaar vervoer. Natuurlijk was de ligging gunstig ten opzichte van de luchthaven Heathrow, waardoor ik snel en gemakkelijk kon reizen.

    Het was helemaal geweldig.
