Everything you can possibly need was available - we could not fault a thing. The guest house itself is clean and modern and the breakfast room has a cheerful nautical theme. The breakfast was fantastic, served with the best coffee we have ever had!

Lovely property in a great position for the Town, quay, transport and all amenities. Our room was lovely, and was a good size for a couple. It had a great view of the local church from our window and had everything we could need for our stay including a small fridge. The bed was fine and the lighting was particularly good, plus the room had a folder with every piece of information you could need about the Town and the local area. Jenny was friendly and very helpful and advised that if we needed anything we could just call her. Really lovely property and would definitely stay again.

    Really lovely apartment in a great location. It is a short walk into the town and the building it self was clean and quiet with a nice view of the water. The apartment was well stocked with everything you need and we quickly felt comfortable there. The host Alan made it very easy to get in with clear instructions and he also reached out once we were settled on the first night to ensure everything was okay, which was nice.

    Great location, very close to bars, restaurants and shops but in a very quiet location. The bed was super comfy and we enjoyed the mini bar too much as everything was at cost price, a very nice gesture. Lots of toiletries and excellent information about where to eat and visit etc. Lots of places to have breakfast, we can recommend Deli on The Quay, lovely breakfast while looking at the harbour where the sun rises. Very helpful host, we will be back.
