All units comprise a seating area, a dining area, and a fully equipped kitchen with various cooking facilities, including a dishwasher, an oven, a microwave and a toaster. At the guest house, each unit includes a desk, a flat-screen TV and a shared bathroom.

Perfect location, just a couple of minutes walk from the historic dockyard and nautical attractions, also really close to walk across the road to Gunwharfe Keys, the ferry terminal, bus and train station. Secure parking is such a bonus and it's just a mile from the cross channel ferry terminal. The individual bedrooms are very clean, well appointed and comfortable. The public areas and kitchen are spacious, clean and with high quality furnishings and fittings. I highly recommend it and for me it will be the first place I book for not only an overnight stop but also a longer sightseeing trip. Great value accomodation.

    Great location on a quiet road but minutes from all amenities. Allocated on site parking. Not swanky but honest, very clean accommodation at a good price with all that's needed - dishwasher, washing machine, fridge freezer, pots, pans crockery and utensils, TV, wi-fi, musical instruments and lots of games. The host was very amenable and responds quickly. We would be very happy to book again.

    This is a comfortable Guest House situated in a great location close to the seafront. The single room was small, as advertised, but it was comfortable and had an ensuite bathroom. The host was friendly and helpful, and the breakfast excellent.
