It's not often you find a B&B with a swimming pool - and the Bendene's is enclosed in a walled garden, which makes it a tranquil spot for summertime dips. The weather may not be Mediterranean, but the atmosphere comes close.
A mini kettle and a few sachets of instant coffee is the best you can normally expect in a British guesthouse, but here, the tea tray is replete with a cafetiere and freshly ground coffee. Fresh flowers also give the rooms a homely feel.

While many guests praise the friendliness of the majority of staff, there are numerous comments about the blunt attitude at the reception desk, with no warm welcome forthcoming. Just a little more service with a smile needed.
