I loved the book corner, the cute window, the common areas to have breakfast and read, the thoughtfulness of using warm toned bedside lamps and not to forget, the private bathroom

Our host, Louise was very helpful and friendly, since we had a problem with our hired car. She offered us even her mobile to contact the car rental company. Each day she gave us a new bag with some snacks and tee and coffee bags. The room was clean, nice bathroom and the beds were comfortable. Everything well maintained. We had the superior double room on the backside, very noise free room. The only shortcoming, the room was a bit small as usual in UK. 14 m2 is not that much 😉. So, if you need more space, book the “Superior double or two bedrooms”. On the backside of the guest house, you can park your car, enough space, just be carefully driving your car through the somewhat tight entryway. So, all in all we were very satisfied.

Absolutely wonderful stay! The host was incredibly warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The location is perfect - just a pleasant 20-minute walk to the city center. The accommodation was spotlessly clean throughout. We were particularly impressed by the host's friendliness and genuine hospitality. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable stay with a personal touch!

It was a pleasure hosting at Innisfail Edi by Raffaella . They were respectful of the house rules, kept the apartment clean, and communicated well throughout their stay. I would gladly host them again!”I had an absolutely wonderful experience with this hosting and accommodation! From the moment I arrived, the host was incredibly warm, welcoming, and attentive, ensuring every detail was perfect. The property was spotless, beautifully designed, and equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable stay—cozy bedding, a well-stocked , and modern amenities. The location was ideal, close to local attractions yet peaceful for a relaxing retreat. The host went above and beyond, providing thoughtful recommendations for dining and activities, making my trip truly memorable. I can’t wait to return and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an exceptional stay! Thank so much Raffaella for your lovely and warm hosting. Mohamed.
