A Beautiful Little Hotel

The Beaches hotel was a really good find. It was beautifully decorated and we wanted for nothing. Jo,Buzz and all the staff were extremely friendly and breakfast was amazing. The rooms were beautiful and well equipped. The parking was a problem as although it was free on street parking,

A room with a beautiful view!

We had a lovely stay at The Beaches Guesthouse! Our room was great with a small balcony overlooking the sea. The fan was very welcome as it was super hot. Breakfast was really good and the hosts Jo and Buzz were very friendly.

We had an amazing stay at Beaches. The grounds and house are impeccable, with lovely interiors. There are so many thoughtful details throughout the property, and Buzz and Jo were responsive, kind, and personable. The area is close enough to walk to the main part of town, but we loved the quiet and calmer street, as well as the dining options. We will be back!

What a fantastic find! Such a lovely Guest House. So much attention to detail - environmentally aware, very clean and fresh, lovely friendly staff. The toiletries were gorgeous - I particularly loved that the packaging was printed using natural products. And, breakfast was beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious, in a beautiful, bright breakfast room and garden. Excellent all round. I can't wait to go back.

Room with a view

The couple running this guesthouse make every effort to ensure you have an amazing stay. The room we stayed in was well proportioned, with large shower room, and balcony with sea view. There were all the ‘products’ you could want, and all of very high quality. The breakfast is lovingly cooked presented by Jo. She does the best poached eggs, and we had them served in a variety of ways.

Lovely room. Easy access. Proper Hot water and heating unlike many places these days which was a Godsend. Lovely breakfast room and the whole place beautifully clean. 24 hour soft drinks and snacks available which meant my 3am snack fest eliminated my hangover. Thanks Jo & Buzz! See you next time :)

Quiet, clean and cosy - highly recommend

Really appreciated how quiet it was at night, and the room was warm, cosy and very clean. Check in was friendly/efficient and due to leaving early the next morning I was able to get some breakfast to take away, which was nice. Would certainly stay again if I return to the area in future.
