I’m actually very surprised at such a poor rating. Although it was actually your sister that stayed with us, she seemed quite happy while she was here. The fact that she said she hoped she would be back, led me to believe there were no issues. I’d really love the opportunity to find out exactly what, if any, problems there were with the room or the breakfasts. Looking over past reviews of our B&B, leads me to believe that perhaps this rating was completed in error.

Not enough words to describe the fantastic experience at Bay Robert’s. From the views the property offers to the rooms to the social area to the dining area to the hosts. Every need was looked after; the breakfasts and dinner were the best. We cannot thank Judy enough for providing the experience she did. We truly hope to be back one day.

Everything about The Bayside is perfect.
One of the very best B&Bs we've ever seen. Judy is the perfect host, and the property is gorgeous. Spacious, comfortable, clean and inviting. The living area for guests is extraordinary, and our bedroom (the Blue Cove room with ensuite) had everything we wanted. Very comfortable bed, big TV with a DVD and movie library (plus hookups for HDMI etc). Lots of nice touches. Large wooden chairs on the back lawn overlook the bay, distant enough from the house that you can have a conversation without being heard, and the view from the breakfast room is gorgeous. BREAKFAST WAS AWESOME! We will highly recommend this B&B to friends and we will be coming back next summer. If you're looking for a quiet and comfortable place to stay while visiting the area, a quick drive to all kinds of great spots (like the awesome Madrock Cafe), this is it. (If you're put off by the "detached bathroom" thing, don't be. Each room gets its own private bathroom, in the same beautiful hallway as all of the room doors. Bathrooms are only a couple of steps from the rooms, each door marked with the name of the corresponding room. Now that we've actually seen how it's set up, we'd have no hesitation booking one of those rooms anytime.) Honestly, everything about The Bayside is perfect. We'll be back!

Thanks so much for your 5 out of 5 star rating! So glad you enjoyed your stay with us at The Bayside Bed and Breakfast. And I'm happy the weather cooperated and you were treated to the sunshine in your views. And you are right, the room is a little small. In fact it's the smallest one we have. I'm not sure how Expedia displays our selection of room choices but there was a larger one available at the time of your booking. Perhaps if you choose to stay with us again, check out our website to see a better description and selection of our availability. Thank you for taking the time to write your review.

Staying at The Bayside Bed and Breakfast was a fantastic experience. Judy is a great host. The food is amazing. And the view over the bay is simply fabulous! We stayed in the blue bay room. The room was immaculate and comfortable. This is probably one of the best bed and breakfast place that I have ever been to.
