    13 February 2016

    "It has been our third time at Mosselbank B&B in the last few years and we enjoyed it again. We love Paternoster for a few relaxing days and felt welcome at the nice B&B close to the beach. Whenever we will be in the area again we would love to return. As there are only a few (but very good) restaurants, think about reservations in advance and check their opening hours."

    17 January 2016

    23 February 2015

    "We stayed for three days in the lovely village of Paternoster. We were welcomed cordially and Petro went out of her way to get us reservations in restaurants of our choice. This is excellent value for money, rooms are comfortable and clean, Wi-Fi is available and okay, separate entrance for guests. We enjoyed watching the small fishing boats going out and return, the west coast nature reserve. Great place to relax and excellent photo opportunities. Can recommend it."

  • "Perfect little gem"

    30 December 2014

    "We visited Mosselbank between Christmas and New Years which is an extremely busy time in the town of Paternoster. Koos, the owner, immediately advised us and volunteered to assist with restaurant bookings for the week. The guesthouse is perfectly situated within walking distance from the beaches and restaurant, however just far enough to allow guests to relax and escape the bustle of the town. The team at Mosselbank made our stay unforgettable, with good breakfast and comfortable rooms, we would highly recommend it for any breakaway."

    23 January 2012

The breakfast was top class - incredible coffee and juice and immaculately prepared eggs, bacon, mushroom and tomato. Each member of the team added their own energy to the service, helping make restaurant bookings for us and making sure my wife and I enjoyed our stay. I will certainly go back."

  • "Great value, great location"

    03 October 2011

    "Was really chuffed with this spot. Although you can't see the sea, you can hear it and the beach was only 10 steps away. Close to all the nice restaurants as well. Breakfast was wonderful, owners were lovely. We could not find anything bad to say about Mosselbank and will definitely use the B&B for future stays. Only one suggestion for the owners is to maybe put small carpets down in the rooms. Might absorb some of the sound (walking on tiles is sometimes noisy) and will warm the room up somewhat. Other than that the rooms were beautifully decorated and the bed fantastic. Thanks for a lovely weekend away."

  • "A little haven in Paternoster"

    28 September 2011

    "We have travelled extensively around the world, but have seldom found such pleasant and well organized accommodation. The room was a dream and we were able to sit around a blazing fire in our own hearth and enjoy the flames as we went to sleep. Our host served a well cooked breakfast with lovely homemade produce. Will be counting the days to return!"

    04 July 2009

    "On arrival we were taken to an adjacent building to the main B & B.This room was spacious, tidy with an adequately sized bathroom and shared balcony looking out towards the partially obscured sea; lovely place to watch the sun go down, even on a winter's day as we had. Breakfast was served in the main house and consisted of a fruit salad starter or cereal and then a cooked breakfast of bacon, eggs, sausages and mushrooms. Very well cooked and plenty of it.The business is very much a family concern with everyone concerned doing a bit. They were happy to give information on the area regarding attractions and restaurants, although the latter were a little in short supply in Paternoster in mid-winter.A very good place and to be well recommended if you decide to make a trip up the west coast."
