Mark and Sharon gave us such a warm welcome. Room was very clean and tidy with tea and coffee making facilities and a fridge for fresh milk everyday. Room refreshed everyday if required. Breakfast was absolutely fantastic, Marks poached eggs are the best, nothing was to much trouble. We would definitely stay again and recommend Melba House to anyone looking to stay in the area.

The attention to detail at Melba House is unsurpassed. Mark and Sharon are so attentive. Rooms are superb, showers are strong and beds really comfortable. Breakfast is a treat and Mark has to be the "King of Eggs", no matter how you like them, he'll perfect them. Some great local advice of where to go, what to see and also what to avoid, was appreciated. Melba House will not disappoint.
