Lakeview Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"Easy check in process. Helpful owner. Lovely, warm and safe room. Good size. Im not usually one for B&Bs. They always feel like you are staying in someone's house (bur like not in a good way). This felt very welcoming snd secure. Proper lock on each bedroom door and a second at the front. Free parking on street outside. Lovely view from windows. Park right across the road for kids. I was surprised how much bathroom they were able to squeeze into bedroom, and it didnt take away from decor. The shower was lovely. Breakfast as excellent. Kitchen Coos and Ewes is 15 mins drive away, worth the trip."

The Harbour House Hotel

8/10 Good

"Food was fabulous. Recommend the full Scottish breakfast. The crispy brie was one of the most delicious things I have ever eaten. Staff are so friendly. The hotel rooms were clean but dated. The bed is uncomfortable as mattress needs replacing, you can feel the springs. The sink in the shower room is so dinky it is almost impossible to use. Water goes everywhere. Glad we only stayed 1 night. General maintenance in rooms and corridors needed. Dirt and paint stains evident in communal areas of hotel. Bedroom windows rotting so don't recommend staying. Do recommend bar , food and staff. Fantastic views over harbour from room."
