Novelty B&B
Xoron Floatel is a novel floating Bed and
Breakfast facility where many guests have enjoyed a memorable stay. Described
as quirky, but also as unique and lovely, the little B&B facility is warm,
cosy and spotlessly clean said guests. The beds are comfortable and the
cabins/rooms are “surprisingly spacious” considering that this is a houseboat.
