The whole house was very clean and well presented, the owners were very informative and friendly. The bed was large and comfortable.
The wash basin was in the room in a strange position which was a little awkward.

Great location to explore and experience all the local attractions and amenities.
We heard a bit of noise from the traffic and partygoers on the street below our room over the weekend which noticeable but didn’t go on too late. We visited off season so could be potentially more intrusive in the busy summer months when a lot of people are about.

Really clean and tidy house and room.
Facilities were great.
Very friendly owners who informed me of everything I may need.
Lovely little touches and considerations like chocolate on the bed. Information on the walls and in the binder.
The guesthouse was quiet inside. No squeaky floorboards or noisy guests.
Location was great, everything you needed for nice restaurants, shops and beach 5 minutes walk away.
Felt very welcoming and safe
Whilst it was generally a quiet street where there was no constant noise such as cars and people in bars etc, on occasion there would be people walking up the street without much consideration for people sleeping in neighbouring guesthouses and properties. They could be quite loud but would be gone quickly. This was completely out with the control of the owners.
I'm a light sleeper and once I'm woken up I lie awake for ages so didn't get a great sleep. If you can get yourself back to sleep quickly you'll be absolutely fine.
The water bottle provided in the fridge had leaked out and was empty when I went to take a drink so they might want to consider changing the bottles to prevent this happening again. I had my own water too so wasn't a problem at all. Just saying to inform the owners.

Beautiful decor in room and spotlessly clean. Large comfortable bed. Thoughtful treats and chocolates in the room, with a good variety of refreshments. Lovely tasty breakfast with lots of menu choices. Welcoming and friendly hosts.
There was nothing to dislike

The hotel is 2 mins away from city centre, rooms are excellent, bedding clean white egyptian bedsheets and flat screen TV. Food-fresh breakfast with different options to choose, a bottle of milk and water in a small fridge in the room, different tea bags, pack of chocolate and biscuits in the room. Customer service very friendly and easy to approach.

Well presented period property, very homely and welcoming. Right on the bottom of Ocean Road and next to all amenities we needed (pubs and restaurants).
Only thing was the curtains would benefit from a blackout lining as the street lights and tree lights outside were very bright.
