“GREAT STAFF & GREAT VALUE FOR MONEY!”
Our flight from Doha was delayed. Consequently, we arrived much later at the Guest House. James was waiting for us and made us feel so welcome, and we immediately felt at home. Our bed was wonderful and after traveling for 27 hours we slept like babies. Also, the breakfast we enjoyed the next morning was tasty and very good. Michael is a very good chef. A huge thank you to Quellin who was always prepared to help us during our stay at The Boord. The staff at this establishment is outstanding!
