On arrival we were met by Joy who gave us a cheerful welcome and checked us in. |Our room (5) was on the second floor at the rear. It was of good size and spotlessly clean. The en-suite was also of good size and shape. …

What a lovely stay! The room was in a traditional style and very clean. Beds were comfortable and shower was hot. Full English breakfast was delicious. Thank you Joy for a fabulous stay; we look forward to visiting again. Would highly recommend for anyone visiting the Winter Gardens, as it’s a 2 minute walk to the venue.

Good value for money. I stayed in a single person room for a night. It had everything I'd expected from a room for the price.Few things to note - it's not good sound proofing, you might hear people walking during quiet hours. You'll be asked to be pay a £100 deposit during check-in.

I stayed at this guest house as I was going to a concert at the Congress Theatre which is just around the corner, a "stone's throw away." It is also very close to the sea front. …
