I have met a lot of wonderful people and I hope that we have also left an impact on our guests. My team at Burnham House are gems, Antnonietta is our Manager , Jeanet and Amanda absolutely amazing, they will gladly answer any of your questions in my absence.

Property information

Burnham House has one of the best views on Burnham Drive. We are on the sea side and the view really leaves a very positive impression to our guests. The rooms are tastefully furnished and all but one room has sea view. This room overlooks our lovely koi pond and rose garden.

Neighbourhood information

We have amazing neighbours due to the respect that we have for one another. Burnham House has been running as a B&B for well over 12 years and we have a wonderful safe environment. La Lucia has a lovely feel to it and the monkeys are very familiar to the area.
