We were invited to a friends wedding at Caversham house and booked one night at 'the Hollies'. It is conveniently located in Guildford and was only 2km from Caversham house, extremely relaxing atmosphere.
Our room was beautifully decorated, very comfortable bed and lovely bathroom. The gardens are perfectly manicured and there was off street parking for our car. 
We had a very nice stay and our hostess served us a lovely continental breakfast in bed the next morning. We loved it!

Wedding weekend

Hands down the best B&B I have ever visited.  Beautifully decorated, very quiet,  unbelievably clean, with the most comfortable bed imaginable.  Conveniently located,  very safe neighborhood, with a great pub just down the street. Judith, the hostess, is extremely friendly and quite pleasant to talk with. Breakfast is impeccably presented on a tray, with lovely china dishes. I'd stay there again in a heartbeat. 

A True Gem

A beautiful house in lovely surroundings, with a charming hostess. The accommodation is carefully and prettily presented and is set in a beautiful garden. The great shame was that it was midwinter and we couldn't sit out in it. The healthy continental breakfast catered for a gluten free diet. The Hollies is very well situated for both the airport and exploring the Swan Valley.  Would happily return and would recommend.

Absolutely pukka!

A couple of days exploring the Swan Valley and The Hollies popped up as an option for accommodation in the area. We could have stayed closer to the Perth city centre as it's not that far away, but thought we'd try out a local B&B so we could get in and out of the food/wine trail easily.

The guest rooms are housed in Judith, the owner's garden - they're basically pimped-up garden sheds in the best sense of the word. Bijoux is another way to describe it - pretty, has all your mod cons. It has AC units in them, so would be fine in the warmer months.

You're away from Judith's house, which you will never enter as you get into your room through a side gate of the garage. We were lucky that there were no other guests during our 2 nights there - so we had the run of the garden which we enjoyed.

A bit alarming was the fact that Guilford is in the landing path of planes coming into Perth - so the sound of planes overhead as we sat in the garden was jarring.

Breakfast is modest - don't expect fry ups - you get juice, a croissant with jams, fruit salad and muesli. Your'e expected to make you own teas and (instant) coffee using the kettle and cups provided in your room.

Parking is on a grass verge outside the garden gates. The area is safe and quiet.

It's neat and tidy, Judith is friendly and so is Bonnie, her dog.

Neat, pretty B&B in the Swan Valley

Trusting the website, we booked in for a three night midweek getaway.
Of particular interest to us was the offer of cooked breakfast and closeness to the Swan Valley, which we'd planned to visit during our stay.
What a disappointment - no cooked breakfast, and when we enquired about the inaccuracy of the advertised cooked breakfast, all the host said was "oh no, I don't do that anymore". No apology either for misleading advertising.
The room was in need of a thorough clean, as there was thick dust across the top of the bedhead and other furniture, as also there was insufficient careful cleaning in the bathroom (very small and cramped). Also encountered a few cockroaches in the cutlery drawer (ugh). Again, no apology from the host when we reported this. The mattress was old and way too soft - nowhere near the standard of a modern hotel.
Free parking turned out to be parking outside the property on the verge - that's similar to street parking! Not exactly secure!
Our observation was that the host had tired of running the place, and it showed in the less than ideal condition of the services offered.
We'd never go back, at least not while the current host is there. Definitely not comparable to a 5 star hotel as the website boldly (misguidedly more like) advertises. More like a 3 star needing a significant amount of work.

Very disappointed, so much so we checked out after just 1 night.
