Fine but not suitable for the less than fit

Room pleasant, well furnished, comfortable bed, generous supply of tea and coffee et cetera and toiletries. Good breakfast with a wide variety of items available. Sea view from bedroom.

Looks like 3/5 rooms are attic rooms up three flights of stairs - after a steep pull up from the car park. Not easy to find by car. However for the reasonably fit only 5-10 minutes walk from town centre, harbour et cetera. Bathroom had no shower but a large stand-alone bath. Bath had no hand holds or handles and stood on a slippery wooden floor seemed like an accident waiting to happen. Bedroom window could not be opened to enjoy the sea air.

Great location just a short stroll from the harbour. Lovely room, clean and tidy with an exceptionally comfortable bed. The breakfast was fabulous, the best full English I have had for a long time. Friendly staff.

lovely little place, hosts were very welcoming

Great location for what we needed! Cute little place

Wasn’t a huge fan of only having a bath available to us in the room, would’ve benefited more with a shower. Also not sure if there was a fridge in the room but there was a weird noise going off during the night which was a bit annoying for me as I’m a light sleeper!

Great location, good value and welcoming hosts.

Warm welcome, excellent breakfast ( wish my poached eggs were as good ). Location and nearness of carprking. Tastefully renovated and lovely view.

No where to put anything in bathroom or bedroom - except the floor. An aweful lot of steps for our old bones to negoiate - I know it's a lovely old building but prewarning of so many stairs would have been nice.

Wonderful guest house - we had a great stay here.

Building is a beautiful old 18th century house. Lovely rooms, decorated and fitted out with every convenience. Great breakfast and helpful staff. Fantastic location 2 mins from harbour and just a short walk to the beaches.

Not ideal for people with mobility issues as lots of stairs.

Comfortable, great location and tasty breakfast!

Hosts were very welcoming and helpful with recommendations. Room was big, comfortable bed, soft towels, lovely toiletries and tea/coffee Great location, many of the best restaurants on the doorstep The breakfast was excellent - really tasty and lots to choose from

I hadn’t read there was only a bath which was the only slight inconvenience not being able to quickly jump in a shower in the morning

Had to fiddle with spa bath plug to get it to work properly without draining, but more of a comment than a negative. Once sorted, we both had a great relaxing bath.

Breakfast was very good and staff were friendly. Plenty of good restaurants around. And short walk to catch the ferry to Lundy Island.

I would have brighter colours on the top floor room.
