Great location, staff was very friendly and cooked us a very tasty breakfast. Room was comfortable, clean and nicely decorated. Street parking was very full so had to park one street away but promenade and restaurants are all within walking distance so no need to move the car after securing a spot.

An amazing stay

We loved our stay at Gyves Guest House. The room was clean and nicely designed. Breakfast was delicious. Veggie and vegan options available.

The true highlight was the hosts' hospitality and the personal touches: home made brownie bites and biscuits in the room, information about what to do in the area and recommendations for restaurants and places to visit.

Parking was a challenge. We dropped off the bags at the door and drive around to look for a space to park. We found a lovely pub down the street for dinner Green King Crown & Anchor. We found the accommodation clean , quiet but on the third floor with no lift. Perfect for a reasonable over night .

Home made bread and delicous home made jam/marmalade. I would definitely stay again and recommend it to others. Very close to seaside but parking could be an issue in popular months.

Breakfast is cooked to order and was very good - smoked haddock, bacon and egg - yum!

A lovely weekend!

The position of the property was brilliant, in the centre and just off the seafront so a little quieter. The property looked very charming and well maintained with seasonal flowers for decoration. The property does advertise no onsite parking so no fault of theirs but the parking is on street parking in a residential area so the parking was difficult to find ++. Took a long time to find a park and a long distance from property.in We were lucky with one car and parked outside!!!The hosts were very polite and helpful at all times. The service, food and quantity was amazing with a great choice.
The rooms were a above fair standard, clean and tidy. The hot drink facility in the room was good with a good choice and complimentary biscuits and bottled water, everything you could want. I would have liked a bigger tv in our room as it was only small and you could not position it so it could not be seen from the bed however the other room was smaller but had a massive tv! I would definitely stay again but I would want that room at the front. Thank you for your hospitality.
