My stay at The Lillagaard B&B was quite enjoyable overall. The location is fantastic, just a block from the beach, and the staff, particularly Tina and Mia, were incredibly welcoming. The breakfast was nice, especially the homemade rosemary bread, though there are some quirks with the space, such as no TVs in the rooms and the older facilities that may not suit everyone's taste.

The B&B retains its historic charm but reminded me that it's an older house. There were enjoyable common areas, but I missed having a TV in my room and found the high-speed internet a bit slow when busy.
