A great solo work stay!
Pros:

I booked last minute for a work trip, the b&b was in a great location, mines walk from a good overnight carpark. The check in was quick and easy, which after a 6hr drive i appreciated. Rooms were quiet, the views were beautiful and the milk etc was restocked each day which was great. Unfortunately i didnt have chance to sit down and have breakfast but i was able to take some for the road.

Cons:

A slight interiors update would be beneficial but otherwise it was really nice

Amazing and would 100% return
Pros:

Location was perfect, breakfast was lovely with plenty of choice. Staff very friendly and helpful.
Room was nice and comfortable although travelling with 2 teenagers we were a bit on top of each other.
Overall a fantastic stay, would highly recommend.

Cons:

The absolute only thing I would say is that the drain in the bathroom was a bit smelly at times.

An extremely pleasant last minute holiday, would happily return to Minerva.
Pros:

Excellent breakfast - so much choice catered for every need.
The food was cooked individually for each person and it arrived at the table piping hot - fantastic!
The location was fabulous, near to the town and the beaches. An added bonus was being able to park in front of the guest house - wonderful experience altogether.
The staff were very friendly, approachable, well informed and helpful.

Cons:

Can’t think of one thing - even the weather was perfect.
