From the minute you walk in to the lobby the place has a warm homely feel to it. The rooms are spotless and the beds comfortable. The owners are so friendly and make you feel right at home. The breakfast was cooked to perfection and served in the restaurant downstairs which was also spotless with it's own ambience. All in... More

A nice little B&B on Fore Street. The room (6 - red double) was clean and tidy and well presented. The standalone bath was beautiful in the room, I would much rather not have had the toilet, whilst partioned, in the room (must have muddled the booking). Wardrobe was a little small for our clothing (length). Clean room, clean sheets,... More

I was recommended the place for the food but we booked in to stay as well. Unfortunately the restaurant was not open during our stay, a minor disappointment as it was one of the reasons we picked it, but Fore street is full of plenty of choice otherwise. The room we stayed in was decorated, equipped and maintained to a... More

This a gem of a B&B, Lovely position with a great view, our room was amazing. Could not praise the hospitality of Paul and Carol enough. Two words cunjure it up, charming and beautiful. Thank you for making our stay so brilliant.

Paul & Carol were certainly the hosts with the mosts! Very friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble for them. My room was very well appointed, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was almost perfect - if I was being pedantic I would have preferred the bread for my toast to have been cut freshly rather than being from a pre-sliced... More

A group of 7 booked all but one of the rooms in this lovely B&B. All of us could not have been happier. Rooms were all spacious, clean and comfortable - room 5 has the biggest bed i have ever seen! Lovely breakfast in the morning and the owners were very friendly and helpful. We were attending a wedding at... More

We had an excellent stay in this lovely guesthouse, right from the start we were warmly welcomed by the host/owners and were shown our room which took our breath away! It was massive! And stunning views of the sea and harbour from our large bay windows. We were given lots of helpful advice and information about what we could do,... More

I honestly cant fault the Olive Branch Lovely rooms, very clean and I considered it good value for money. They were very helpful and flexible to our needs. In the morning, with a hangover, I asked for the 'biggest baddest breakfast' they could provide, and I got it. (in a good way) absolutely huge and delicious! Well done and thanks... More
