Our breakfast was perfect. We had the choice of 3 different slots for time and as we stayed two nights, we chose 2 different slots. Both times, we were served promptly with fresh food, plenty of cereals choice, alternative milk and normal milk all served in a very cosy room.
4.0 / 5.0
The location was excellent - very central but not noisy, free parking was a couple of minutes walk away and easy to find. The owners were very friendly and the breakfast was lovely.
My only comment would be that the room wasn't serviced whilst we were out the day after we arrived. It didn't need cleaning after us only being there for one night, but it's always nice to return to find that the bed has been made and things have been freshened up. It's one of the perks of being away and feeling looked after.

There was a very good choice of cereals, fresh fruit and yoghurt to start with in the lovely breakfast room. This was followed by our choice of poached eggs and fresh warm toast! The room we stayed in was very comfortable and quiet and the location of the Cowrie was within walking distance of the train station. Excellent hospitality and service with a very high standard of breakfast for a B&B at this price.

We have just had a lovely two night stay at The Cowrie and could not fault it. Ian and Ruth made us really welcome . Our room was clean and spacious and breakfast was excellent. The B & B is ideally situated to walk into the centre and also the city walls and coastal path. Would definitely stay again.
