Chloe M.
The charm and quirky rooms made this guest house such a lovely find. Ours had a gorgeous roll-top bath and views towards the harbour. Downstairs, breakfast in the Olive Room was excellent, freshly cooked to order with a full range of choices. The little touches made a difference, and Jo was so friendly. I can’t wait to come back and visit again. 🌟💯

We’d come back in a heartbeat. Jo was super friendly, gave us helpful parking instructions and made us feel welcome during our last-minute stay at the Olive Branch. It’s a lovely, spacious building, and our room was fantastic: well-equipped, clean and roomy, with a super-comfy bed. We were pleasantly surprised to get a full English breakfast in the morning. It was included, though I hadn’t noticed that when I first booked. Great location, quiet rooms, lovely hotel. 10/10

We needed two rooms at very short notice, and the lovely owners helped us out. Both rooms were great, immaculately clean and beautifully decorated, with comfortable beds. The location was perfect, right in the centre and close to a car park, and breakfast was great too. Thanks, Jo! We’ll definitely be back. 😊

We spent two nights here on a family break, with a double room for me and my wife and a twin for my daughters. The hosts were excellent throughout, breakfast was superb, and the rooms were clean and comfortable. The location is great, close to everything you need. Parking is the one small downside, as you have to use a nearby car park a short walk from the B&B, and it can cost up to £15 for 24 hours. All in all, an excellent stay, and we’d definitely come again.

My favourite thing was the roll-top bath ❤️, though the bedrooms are all spacious, stylish and have comfy beds and great lighting. The top rooms have stunning views. This delightful place has an adjoining bar and sits on beautiful, quiet Fore Street, near the harbour, cosy pubs and quaint shops. I’ll remember the lovely staff, relaxed atmosphere and the best cooked breakfast I’ve ever had. Shanty night was a very joyful bonus!
