Ben and Kirsty are super hosts at this longstanding b&b. The rooms are beautiful and position in Hugh Town simply perfect! An array of breakfast choices with full English being one of the best I've had!. Count yourself very blessed if you get a room here as they are literally always full, and I see why!
