Stayed midweek for 2 nights.The host is a lovely lady who was looking out for us prior to arrival as we were somewhat lost.She was very obliging when we needed to add a booking at short notice and requested a larger room for this and also when we needed a taxi.Got a good night's sleep both nights as the road was quiet.Location is great, only about 5 minutes walk to the centre.Lovely and very satisfying full English breakfast with tea and toast.The guest house itself is very comfortable (I would suggest replacing the hard dining chairs in the rooms with more comfortable chairs, especially for elderly guests).

I stayed here recently for two nights. I had a single ensuite room, which was very clean, with a comfortable bed. The hospitality tray was replenished daily. Margarita, the lady there, is very friendly and welcoming. The location is good, only a few minutes walk to the railway and bus stations and to the town centre. I really enjoyed my stay.

This is a brilliant find for an over night stop over. We stayed the night before travelling to France via the tunnel. Which is 10 mins drive away. The main harbour is 10 mins walk for food and views. …

A cheap, very clean guest house was just what 3 blokes needed for a golf trip. The host was most accommodating arranging a time for us to collect our keys. The guest house was clean and tidy. …

Stayed two nights in room 6 on the top floor. Single room very cosy and comfortable - not large, but, for £30 a night, good value. Breakfast was good, wifi also. …
