Beaufort House Inn

We stayed in the 2 bedroom suite upstairs, which had a tight staircase but we had very little luggage so not a problem for us but something to think about if you are staying longer or have large and heavy suitcases. And there is not a door shutting off the suite access from the level below but we did not mind that. (Of course the bedrooms and bathroom have doors).

A very small staff tried valiantly to provide services for the guests but it was frequently difficult to locate someone to assist or answer questions. My main problem with this stay was the breakfast! For me Bed n Breakfast includes a lovely hot breakfast with several if not ample choices. We were presented with a cold buffet- one choice of cold cereal, hard boiled eggs and toast or muffin. A basket with bananas rounded out the offering. At the very least a chafing dish of scrambled eggs should have been offered. I frequently stay at B n B establishments and have never been this disappointed with breakfast.

There is not much choice for breakfast. What is available is nice but there could be more choice.

O café da manhã poderia ser melhor

Same breakfast everyday. Not a hot breakfast. Cold breakfast of yogurt and hard boiled eggs.

A few more breakfast items would be nice.

The notes said that our room would be attended to on the second day if we were staying multiple days. We stayed three nights but didn't receive any room service, and began to run out of supplies. Somehow we hadn't realized that the property also had cottages. A little variety in the breakfast menu would be nice for those staying multiple nights.

Shower was super hot and then super cold - it was like the water was alternating.

Creepy door to the roof was open - couldn't lock it. Just held some broken tiles, but it would have been nice if it had been sealed.

No room temp control. Fine for an old house, but A/C was on when it was less than 60 degrees outside. There was a gas fireplace but no info on how to use it.

"Hearty" breakfast is very basic continental - not filling at all. We had to go elsewhere to eat. Staff did not clear dishes or supply cutlery regularly enough at breakfast.

Breakfast could have been better. Yogurt was in a shared bowl for all guests; no microwave to heat eggs or oatmeal if needed after mixing with hot water; had to wait on coffee; only one shared canister for all guests; had to ask for items instead of having plenty displayed for all guests.

The room was very warm at night. I did not think the heat was needed during this time since it got very warm during the day.

Disappointed when we were not in the Inn itself, but given a room called a cottage behind the back of the house, even though this is not what was booked. Very rarely do I post negatively, everyone deserves the benefit of good intentions. However, the facts are clear when we both tripped on the pot holes and broken roadway because the breakfast and the tea and coffee were in the main house. Walking in the dark to and from the house on the uneven brick path to our 'room' in the back was just as bad. This was probably in the lowest ranking of any stay we have had. I am quite sad to say this because we had been looking forward to staying at the Inn.
