This B & B is in a quaint, gated area. Unlucky for us, we were in the Duyfken attic room, facing the back which when sitting out on the balcony looks onto a brick wall, described as Inner courtyard view. I knew before booking we had stairs to climb because this is mentioned but didn't realise there would be so many. Pictures don't show the two narrow staircases with about 13 steps on each staircase. Had I seen pics of these I would not have booked because we are two, older, female friends travelling together and it would have been very difficult getting the cases up all these stairs. It was bad enough coming down them with the cases. Luckily, when we arrived a neighbour, who works for the owner at another location, helped us with the luggage. If you read this, thank you. We spent four nights here but never saw a cleaner or receptionist. Every day we had continental breakfast delivered for the next day but one day the milk wasn't left and the cups weren't changed. The room was very small when beds are split into twins. The bathroom door didn't shut but it was a good size bathroom. The room really did need a deep clean, carpet is patched. It could be a lovely room if these things are put right. Beautiful building. Everything is there that you need for a short stay. Exceptional location, just off Market Street which is full of shops, restaurants and bars. Five minute walk to the station, the beach and harbour. I have given four starts because these negatives can be corrected and it's a great place to stay.
