Mariea was a great hostess. The English cooked breakfast was just right quantity and cooked to order. Generous with fresh coffee too. Other options for breakfast were available but we didn’t try them. Our room had a beautiful view of the sea and promenade. It was a generous family sized room with a small en suite, with shower . Lots of radiators for chillier stays. Fridge and kettle were available to use in the room. Location for seaside was amazing for both families and dogs.
Our room was at the top of a lot of stairs, request a lower room if you have mobility issues.

We liked the positioning of the Guesthouse on the sea front we thought the owner was very friendly and very helpful with information
I’m sorry to say this is not the cleanest of BnBs , room 2 which we were in was on the ground floor backing onto the breakfast room ,no chance of having a lie in when you can here everyone and everything going on ,in our bathroom there was mould on the ceiling and I’m sorry but when the sheet rolled back off the mattress this morning OMG 😦 scary this definitely needs to be replaced we do have pictures showing to back our comments up but at this stage we won’t be posting them ,these will be shown to booking.com directly giving the owner chance to rectify these issues

The owner kindly arranged for us to keep our bikes securely overnight and gave us a residents parking permit to use whilst we left our car for a few days

A great breakfast.
The room next door played TV very loudly and the walls were thin. Not the fault of the owners, but it was annoying.

Another great stay at the Cara never disappoints. Great size family room with sea view. Amazing breakfast and Maria the host is so welcoming.
No teabags in room and didn't realise the kitchen was open to get them ourselves - one to remember the next time!

Room could do with a refresh

The Guesthouse is lovely and comfortable. The owner was very nice and welcoming. She made us delicious breakfast and everything worked out great. We had a family room upstairs, which was very comfortable and nice. I would recommend it to my friends and would come back any day!
It was a bit tricky to set the water temperature in the shower so that it is not burning hot. Best let the grownups look after it, before the children try to use the shower. The parking is a paid public parking lot for 3 pounds per day, but it is closeby.

Nothing we didn't like

It was on the sea front, near to amenities. There is a car park nearby, with charging stations. Lovely staff. Lovely breakfast.
I would have liked to have had a socket point near to the mirror in my family room, so I could do my hair. Mattress was a bit too hard for me.

Wonderful. Highly recommended. Was given a free upgrade for me and my tiny little dog. So we stayed another night too! Spacious family room with ensuite. And heating on a timer so nice and cosy. Could sit looking out through bay window. And great location. Good size portion for cooked veggie breakfast. Thanks so much for a memorable, cosy, stay.

Breakfast was delicious, the room came with a sea view which we didn't pay extra for (I think this was a fluke though, probably doesn't happen every time). Great location right on the sea front, and just 2 minutes form the Spanish City.
The room was a little small, but perfectly big enough for a weekend. It was a little chilly, and maybe could have done with another blanket, but a heater was provided.

Friendly staff, lovely location
It's a bit dated, when stripped bed duvet was disgusting spoilt the experience.

I was staying at Cara’s guesthouse from the 20th of Jan until the 24th of Jan 2023. The room was very cozy and neat, with the heating radiator, hot water and perfect homemade breakfast every morning. Try their pancakes, they are the most delicious pancakes I have ever tried anywhere in the world! They were very thoughtful and made me some breakfast on the go on the day when I had to leave and check out very early in the morning. Also the location was just perfect as the guesthouse overlooked the beach and the sunrises were incredibly beautiful! I would certainly come back and stay again with pleasure! Best wishes from Baku!
I can’t think of anything.

Loved the beach vibe and the (double) room was very spacious. Extra heater was a bonus and very efficient. Plenty of choice for breakfast - the burritos were delicious.
Shower is tiny!
4.4
Staff and breakfasts were very good. The room size for 4 people was great with fireplace, table and chairs.
There wasn't a proper cupboard or chest of drawers to unpack suitcases which was inconvenient.

Nice, clean place, just 1 minute from the seafront, restaurants and pubs, warm, lovely staff, nice brekkie, small and gay friendly.
The double bed was a bit small but nothing major, would stay again.
4.4
Great location, comfortable, good breakfast, lovely host.
Bathroom was private but not en-suite which was a slight drawback. Knew about this in advance and wouldn’t prevent from staying again.
4.4
Nice breakfast.
Our money was refunded for the 4 days we didn't end up staying.
No close parking for even brief loading/unloading purposes. Had to bring bags from several blocks away.
Guests who had booked multiple rooms at the facility returned after midnight, clearly drunk, and made noise until 2am. Any efforts to get this to cease went unheeded. We left the following morning after spending only one day of our planned five.
A refund of our unused days was discussed prior to our departure. No credit nor communication happened until I reached out again after our return.
4.4
Maria greeted us on arrival, very welcoming, helpful and cheerful, place warm and clean, beautiful sea view, excellent breakfasts and restaurants locally in short walk distance. Fully recommend Signature & Valentinos.
Nothing to not like.
