"We had a lovely stay! The reception staff were absolutely the best—very friendly, welcoming and helpful. The location is perfect, just a 2-minute walk to the beach and Adventure Island, and close to everything you need. We could easily walk to the nearby attractions, restaurants and shops. Our room was peaceful and comfortable, which made our stay even more enjoyable. Great location, lovely staff and a peaceful room. We would definitely stay here again! ❤️"

The Beaches Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"a bit more care and attention was needed on the balcony ,it was lovely to sit out there and look out to sea but it was a bit dirty between the bedroom and balcony door opening, also a few cobwebs about the staff were lovely , made us feel really welcome even sending out a message on the day we arrived , nothing seemed to much trouble. some nice little touches like being able to help yourself to drinks in the fridge trusting us to pay when we leave , a water station with bottles to use fill it up tea/coffee milk in room which was re filled on our second day free paring outside or very near which was lovely we enjoyed our stay and would recommend a would stay again"
