Thinking a guesthouse as in the title thought would be welcoming…. Said breakfast included, it isn’t. You get 1 v small milk carton and teabags. Prob great for a group but squashed dead insects on the door of the loo, dust behind the doors and just felt like staying at a grandmas house without the welcoming grandma….we sent a message to the owner on arrival as a lock safe entry and 2 days later no response. Up to you but not for us, disappointed ##### Maria Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Ander 14 Jan 2021 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Ander Stayed 1 night in Dec 2020 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Celestial All Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kefalonia-Hotels-Celestial-Kefalonia.h63151461.Hotel-Information) > > [The Stratford Park Hotel & Golf Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stratford-Upon-Avon-Hotels-The-Stratford-Park-Hotel-Golf-Club.h17047084.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Rotorua](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rotorua-Hotels-Ibis-Rotorua.h1131218.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Salford Quays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salford-Quays-Hotels.0-l6274146-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [SenS Hotel and Spa Conference Ubud Town Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ubud-Hotels-SenS-Hotel-And-Spa-Conference-Ubud-Town-Centre.h10915855.Hotel-Information) > > [1 Hotel Toronto](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Toronto-Hotels-1-Hotel-Toronto.h2920159.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Dunbar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dunbar-Hotels.d182761.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Sol Fuerteventura Jandia - All Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pajara-Hotels-Sol-Fuerteventura-Jandia-All-Suites.h579359.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Tarifa Lances by Q Hotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tarifa-Hotels-Hotel-Tarifa-Lances.h18447058.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Bohemia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Berlin-Hotels-Hotel-Bohemia-By-Vivere-Stays.h4783348.Hotel-Information) > > [Rainforest Retreat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Franz-Josef-Glacier-Hotels-Rainforest-Retreat.h7088168.Hotel-Information) > > [Tongariro Suites at The Rocks](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Horopito-Hotels-Tongariro-Suites-At-The-Rocks.h9679404.Hotel-Information) > > [Buckland Tout Saints Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Totnes-Hotels-Buckland-Tout-Saints-Hotel.h752.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Great Orme Country Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Great-Orme-Country-Park-Hotels.0-l6086433-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Anglers paradise and great family holiday place](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Makarora-Hotels-Anglers-Paradise-And-Great-Family-Holiday-Place.h37278832.Hotel-Information) > > [Staycity Aparthotels, Dublin Castle](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Staycity-Aparthotels-Dublin-Castle.h29427010.Hotel-Information) > > [Rosewood Matakauri](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Queenstown-Hotels-Matakauri-Lodge.h1097561.Hotel-Information) > > [Richmond Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Richmond-Hotels-Richmond-Holiday-Park.h29218591.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Goat Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Caernarfon-Hotels-Royal-Goat-Hotel.h24315685.Hotel-Information) ### Cars > [Car hire in Europe](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Europe.d6022967.Car-Hire-Destinations) ### Activities > [Things to do in Dubai](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Dubai.d1079.Travel-Guide-Activities) > > [Things to do in Bridgwater](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Bridgwater.d4584.Travel-Guide-Activities) > > [Things to do in El Gouna](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-El-Gouna.d11947.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Prague Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Prague.d180014.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Jeju Island Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jeju-Island.d6049718.Holidays-City-Breaks) ### Holiday Rentals > [South Coast Holiday Rentals](https://www.expedia.co.uk/South-Coast-Holiday-Rentals.d6046244.Travel-Guide-HolidayRentals) ### General > [Visit Knock](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Knock.dx6057815) > > [Visit West Wittering](https://www.expedia.co.uk/West-Wittering.dx553248629501798811)
