브라이어 로즈 B&B

Great B&B. I think it would be more fun without COVID restrictions, but glad they are keeping us safe.

When we arrived, we were immediately given an upgrade on our room without asking. This kind of service continued, as we were pampered in a serene, beautiful environment. When we asked for coffee and tea, we got not only that, but a beautiful tray with fresh flowers to carry it on to our room, and breakfast was fresh and delicious. The pace of the service was calm and relaxing, and everything was spotlessly clean. We would highly recommend a stay at this inn!

The only that was a "negative" was the size of the shower in our room (the Windom). It was very small and I banged my elbows (average-size woman) on the wall several times. For an average size man it would be difficult to maneuver.

Loved- The calm, homely and cosy atmosphere. The staff are really lovely, and make you gorgeous herbal tea and great coffee. They are very knowledgeable about the area. Met great people from all over the world at breakfast. Every alternate breakfast was a big meal, eggs, toast & sweet potato for example plus yogurt & fruit (on the other days there pancakes/waffles and yoghurt with fruit). They are quick to give you wonderful coffee on arrival at the breakfast table. It's within walking distance of Pearl Street, public transport to the airport and hiking, mall, cafes, restaurants etc. Didn't love - Bring ear plugs & eyemask. Sound really carries so you can hear the loud voices from the kitchen, doors, driers, walking around etc. The floorboards and bed are really creaky too. You have to wake up before 7.30am because the kitchen and breakfast table is bustling! The $25 surcharge for having my husband stay instead of just me seemed steep especially as the room was very small for 2 people.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Comfortable and quiet place. Truly able to rest well. Very enjoyable breakfast, well prepared and served.
