We had a lovely stay at Marlyn Bed & Breakfast. We attended a wedding at Sandy Cove and decided we would stay here. I'm so glad we did. Gwen is so lovely and welcoming. Lovely clean room, comfy bed, great breakfast, and good location. Thank you so much Gwen.

Absolutely lovely stay for a friends wedding. Lovely comfy beds, fantastic view from the twin bedroom. Really enjoyed the really great breakfast specially after a long day. The sheep and dogs were the icing on the cake. An absolute gem. Thank you Gwen

Forget fancy hotels with fancy prices. Just enjoy the warm welcome and hospitality which you will receive from staying at Marlyn's B&B. Gwen's perfect breakfasts will set you up for the day having enjoyed a peaceful and comfortable sleep in the beautiful bedrooms - ours luckily looking over to the coastline. It is to be highly recommended and great value too.

A lovely warm welcome from our host Gwen and we felt comfortable straight away. We had rooms that were clean and beds were so comfortable. Wonderful views, fantastic breakfasts served in an olde world, farmhouse dining room and the whole experience a pleasure. Gwen and Matt were so lovely to us all and we would highly recommended their lovely B and B to anyone wanting to stay there.

Lovely spot and wonderfully done . Great thought given all round. Loved our stay and a fantastic base from which to explore. Lovely bedding, charming courtyard garden. Everything had been well thought of and plenty of space of you like to surf to deal with all the wet kit.

This was our second stay as a family of 4. Gwen was very accommodating with rooms for travel cot etc.The breakfast is yummy and you get lots of it. Matt’s fried bread was best I’ve had!We had Gwen cook us dinner one night during stay and that too was great food. Very generous in portion sizes.We look forward to going back again.
