• “Words cannot express our stay at Blue Waters! We are not sure which we liked best, Phaedra or Blue Waters. Actually one does not exist without the other! Phaedra, the charming young lady who is witty, helpful, interesting, gracious, knowledgeable and sensitive runs Blue Waters with an eye on everything! She is sharp with a wonderful personality and pleasant manner and gives her attention to every guest and makes them feel so special! Even though she is younger than our youngest child, we call her ‘Mom’. She worries about us when we are out on an adventure, tells us to go get our hat and drive carefully! She then goes out into the street to direct us out of the parking area when driving, not easy when we are used to driving on the opposite side of the road. I know that everyone who stays here, loves her! Blue Waters makes us feel like we are home and what a home Blue Waters is! We are going around the world (China is our next stop) but we hate to leave. This is a wonderful guest house. We would like to take Phaedra and Blue Waters with us! Our stay was perfect!!! Thanks Phaedra for putting up with Chuck’s teasing” - Chuck & Patty, Wichita, Kansas, USA
• “Without doubt, this is the best guest house we have stayed in, in any country we have visited. The welcome we received from Phaedra was wonderful and was matched by her attention to detail during our entire stay. The house is well above 5 star quality. The bedrooms were superb – and one thing is certain, we’ll be back!” - Caoim & Margaret, Dublin, Ireland
• “Both of us have had the most magnificent stay at Blue Waters. The hostess and staff have all been very helpful with information and anything else required of them. Blue Waters is a beautifully decorated and friendly guest house and we will be looking to visit again later in 07 (we hope). The choice of breakfast is healthy and outstanding and the lunge area is very calming and comfortable to sit in. Thank you so much Phaedra & girls for the wonderful stay we have so much enjoyed” - Carol & Steve, Middlesex, UK

October 2007

• "Phaedra, I thoroughly enjoyed my time here - not only was my accommodation excellent, really comfortable and contained everything I needed, but it also came with great views. Blue Waters is very central for getting around and you provide not only a delicious and varied breakfast (enough to make me want to go back to bed and sleep it off!), but you also provide the means for any guest to obtain information they require and your personal help at a moment's notice, which is priceless.
