I was unable to stay for breakfast so he even made sure I had some fruit to go in the morning! The room was lovely with a wonderful shower which was much needed at the end of the long day. Would definitely recommend and stay again! ##### helen Stayed 1 night in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ashley 20 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Just superb. I stayed at the Chestnuts and I could not have chosen a better base or more importantly host. Nick goes above and beyond, friendly, informative and makes the best breakfast. No request was to much from cleaning the rooms on request to providing a warm and friendly atmosphere. I had a different breakfast in my 3 day stay and have to say the cooked full English was just so good. If you are looking for a good place to stay, close to the beach (2 minute walk) and perfect access point to the rest of the island I would highly recommend the Chestnuts. Also which is a big bonus nowadays if you want Wi\_Fi then the speeds are great. Probably as good as at home. With over No issues connecting your devices. A great stay I will be back. ##### Ashley Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susan 14 Jun 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Hayley and Nick made us feel really welcome, we had a lovely clean and bright room and were within easy reach of the beach we had a good choice of breakfast and we would definitely stay at the Chestnuts again, very good value for money ##### Susan Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tony, Swindon, Wilts 6 Sept 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very pleasant stay at the Chestnuts, Hayley and Nick were excellent hosts and nothing was any trouble 5 stars plus ##### Tony Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vincenzo 6 May 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great place Great service would happily stay again. ##### Vincenzo Stayed 1 night in May 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Nigel 27 Feb 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Very welcoming when arrived. The room was small but more than adequate. The breakfast was well worth it. Due to my time of staying and out of season the local area was a little bit of a let down. Very hard to find something to eat (next time should ask when booking in) but apart from that a lovely stay. Thank you ##### Nigel Stayed 1 night in Feb 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 5 Sept 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Nice B&B close to the beach. Very central location so easy to get around the island using public transport/ bikes. Lots to do locally. The owners couldn't have been more helpful and friendly.
