Great little guest house in a convenient location. The host was attentive and very friendly. The room was clean, with plenty of tea/coffee/biscuit supplies. I've had a very enjoyable stay.

The location was excellent. The room was compact but clean and the bed was comfy. Excellent value for money.

Emi 8.0

Bed was big and comfortable, slept really well! Host was very friendly and informative. Everything was funtional and lots of amenities came with the room. Location was right by the sea and not too far a walk from the centre, about 15 minutes. The seafront was about a 5 minute walk - you could see the water right as you stepped out! Plenty of breakfast options within a 5 minute walk as well.

Great location, easy to check in, responsive host and they gave us a late check out for free which was great. Jeremy even let us keep our luggage there while we went around the city, everything was so uncomplicated and that’s extremely appreciated when on holidays. Thank you Jeremy!

Great location. Really comfortable bed. Great price

Caroline 9.0

Our host Jeremy was helpful, informative & made our stay much more enjoyable. The room was spotlessly clean and the welcome packs were a lovely touch. Sadly Surf Guest House is all booked up for August bank holiday next year so we'll have to look elsewhere but we can see why!

Atlanta 8.0

Lovley stay at the surf guest house! We stayed in room 2 and loved it, we loved the balcony and the windows that opened right up! It would be a bonus if there were a table + chairs on the balcony area though. However the room was lovely and clean, brilliant facilities and perfect location right next to the beach. 5 minute walk from local pubs/ restaurants- as well as a 5 minute walk from the beryl bikes which we often used. There were 2 fans left in the room which cooled the room down. We did get the parking permits which jermey provided wrong but with Just a text he managed to sort us some new ones out with no bother, thankyou ! Loved our stay thanks so much !

Sean 8.0

Room was big, as was the bathroom. Jeremy was very friendly and communicative.
