Terence and Piper are the best of hosts and made us feel welcome the moment we walked though the front door. The room we stayed in was immaculate and much thought had gone into every detail, right down to the "sleep pack" left on our pillows at night. Piper prepared breakfast each morning which was delightful and plated beautifully. We could go on-deservedly a 5-star establishment.

Sailors rest was fab - freshly decorated and very clean. Good quality linen & towels etc, water piping hot and breakfast at their other premises down the road was excellent. Nice touch was fresh milk in fridge on arrival and enough tea and coffee for several cups. Not the standard single pot to plastic milk. lol Self check in worked fine and Lady at the Royal George for Breakfast was super friendly. Great location right on the Estuary Front!

The room was very clean, it wasn't advertised as en ensuite although it was. The staff were friendly, there was lots of choice of breakfast and my order was taken upon check-in. There was plenty of milk and extra tea bags for my room. . It was perfectly located for me right by the SW coast path. It was peaceful and quiet at night. I would stay again if in the area. The fresh fruit salad at breakfast was simply the best I have ever had in a hotel/guest house!

Beautiful guest house renovated to a high standard in a great location. A short walk into the town and harbour. Our room was perfect and the attention to detail was appreciated. We stayed in the Deluxe King which was spacious and tastefully furnished. This guest house is like a boutique hotel with two lovely hosts who ensure you want for nothing. Breakfasts were amazing especially the eggs Benedict! 10/10.
