    There was honestly nothing to complain about with this specific B&B - even if I wish I could provide something constructive!

    A gracious host who truly put care into her craft and both made you feel welcomed and at ease. A lovely breakfast was included and we got to stay in the pods out back which made me want to buy a pod myself, honestly! We enjoyed Dursey island and fall asleep to a beautiful sunset through the glass wall of the pod.

    The only negative I can give is there was no clear signage that made it clear I was in the right place when i first arrived, but this is so minor!

    Very warm and welcoming host. The room had all the facilities and comforts you would need for a few days stay. The breakfast menu had good options and was delicious. The location is beautiful, with great views of the bay, and a short walk from the local village and pub.

    This B&B was exceptional. So many little touches to add comfort, like the toilet paper folded the same as you would find in hotel bathrooms and biscuits next to the tea and coffee in the room! Everything was spotless and the bed was one of the most comfortable I have ever slept it. The breakfast was 10/10 - restaurant quality. Irene could set up a business selling her homemade waffles alone - what a treat with a cup of coffee. I'll be back! Irene also kindly refunded me some money as I overpaid online (she doesn't charge for 2 year olds). Thanks Irene. An honest, kind, welcoming host.

    The quality of the food and wine. It doesn’t match the excellence of the hotel or the service.

    The location is stunning and easy to get to. The food and wine was good, not great. The service was excellent. And the room was lovely.

    Irene greeted my partner and I. Irene was so welcoming to us. She introduced us to the room we stayed in. She talked with us and explained bed and breakfast is in the morning, with a list of incredible breakfast options. The room with a double bed was very comfortable and the house was all at a very professional standard. She explained that we were more than welcome to have tea and coffee and to help ourselves to the complimentary fridge consisting of different drinks. Bed was very comfortable and Irene left flowers in the room we stayed in. Breakfast was top class. Irene is a true professional and I would recommend anyone to stay at Beach View Bed and Breakfast. 10 out of 10.
