No direct path to the beach, but it walk only a short walk down the road.

Lovely breakfast, with a stunning view, We loved the freshly baked scones!

We like PATERNOSTER

Andy & Dee are so excellent hosts.Such a lovely couple. The Paternoster is such an excellent place. So peaceful, quiet, super beautiful Paternoster. Excellent views , super nice people staying there, good restaurants & food. Can't say enough. We had the best relaxing 3 days there just by walking the village and chilling in our huge suite. We highly recommend Gilcrest Guest house. Also, the breakfast was so cute with all the decorations from Dee. JUST outstanding. It was just WOW.

The only thing I did not like was the steep stairs to the room and the door opening out onto the stairs. Maybe a rail should be added for the last 3 steps inside the bedroom.

The breakfast was simple but delicious. The scones were different and so tasty. The location, we could not ask for a better view from our room. Not only could you hear the ocean you could see it from your bed too.

A beautiful, spacious room with its own entrance, with stunning views overlooking the sea. We loved listening to the waves at night and watching the sun set over the sea

The place is obviously not new, which is fine but was a bit unclean. Few towels had stains

Very good breakfast. The hosts were friendly to book restaurants

The passage to the room is a bit small, and the stairs are narrow and uncomfortable.

It is very personal.

We had the 1st floor bedroom which was huge with large walk in wardrobe and lovely views of the sea. Breakfasts were very good.

Stayed in December 2023

The view could disappear when the sea fog rolled in - Not the fault of the management ! Kitchen smells were intrusive in the bedroom.

Breakfast was freshly cooked and served in a light airy room with an excellent view. The location of Gilcrest is excellent within easy walk of the town centre. The views from our first floor bedroom were quite the best of our holiday. Morning coffee in bed with an unobstructed view out over the bay.

Excellent position. Lovely room. Lots of thoughtful touches.

Our loft room was super-comfortable, and very well appointed. Inclusion of a milk-warmer would have been a boon to coffee-time, and a re-look at the shower head (there are some really great heads available) would be the only (very minor) suggestions! The breakfasts were excellent - lovely continental selection with cooked option of the day on request. And ..... a view to die for. Friendly check in, leisurely departure - this hostelry has everything to recommend it by. There is nothing to not recommend Gilcrest Place! We loved it.
