Loved staying at the Whale on Main B&B, it felt like home away from home, no crowds, no noisy people and no queue's for breakfast one experiences when staying at a hotel. The hosts Zeno and Marlene are extremely hospitable and attentive to their guests from the moment you arrive explaining everything. Options of what you would like for breakfast is placed in the room that you can select from and at what time you would like breakfast, you drop off your selection at the front desk and in the morning the hosts already know what to prepare for you. The hosts are so attentive and well organized, you do not wait very long for your breakfast to arrive, they really run like a well oiled machine whilst making ones stay so comfortable and homely. The home is modern and the rooms and bathrooms are great in size, modern, clean and airy. The location is great and in close proximity to everything. I will certainly be comming back for more stays.
