Nice little place and location for an impromptu overnight stay, but wouldn’t choose longer. Seriously uncomfortable bed, seemingly shared bathroom for ground floor room. Didn’t like having to go out into lobby/reception area to use toilet and or shower.

Purpose served for a one night stay. No problem with staff or other guests and a convenient location with parking.

There was no clear way to easily communicate with host. Thankfully he reached out to us when we didn’t arrive at check-out time. He was gracious, but we had no number to inform him that we would be late.

I won’t be using Expedia/VRBO, or whatever it’s called again. The platform is not nearly as good as Airbnb.

I had a great stay at this hotel. It looked nice and cozy, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The location is a big plus—just a short walk to both the city center and the beach, making it super convenient whether you’re looking to explore or relax. Overall, it’s a good place to stay if you want comfort and a great location.

One night stay at the Burnside B&B

Easy check In and received text inquiring about time I would be arriving.very small room but bright and had everything required I slept well ..My only complaint was the tiny travel electric kettle had such a short lead on it It had to be unplugged every time to pour the water and it was right beside the curtains and it was a stretch to even plug it in…a kettle that you lift out would be a much more safe option

We had a nice stay. It’s about 2 blocks to the beach. There is no lift and it’s 3 stories high! Rooms aren’t too big. The bed was comfortable. The breakfast was great!! Paul is a great cook! We did have a problem locating the place. We also got there late and Paul wasn’t too happy, but the next morning he was ok. Pictures on the web are accurate. Great place for young and young at heart couples to stay

Disappointed

Description of property in the advert is wildly wrong.
Its not \"upmarket\". There is no bar/lounge, nor on-site parking.

The condition of the floor in our room was terrible, with several very loose boards and one large whole where you would have gone through the floor.

Whilst the mattresses was new it was rather poor in quality.
I have never experienced a duvet that was narrower than the bed itself.

Breakfast however was absolutely 1st class.
