    stunning views
    delicious breakfast
    no direct parking
    quirky room decor
    requires a walk to parking

    The Superior Double Room offered impressive views through large bay windows, making it a joyful retreat. Breakfast was outstanding, featuring local cheese that delighted the taste buds. parking isn't available directly outside, and I had to walk a bit from the nearest parking area. the quirkiness of the room, while appealing, might not suit everyone's taste.

    friendly owners
    great location
    limited window opening
    flimsy shower curtain

    we had a great time at the olive branch! the owners were super friendly and treated us like family. the twin room was lovely with a fab view of the sea and the breakfast was amazin, lots of tasty options. loved the comfy beds and cleanliness, made for a cozy stay. perfect location, just a short walk to the harbour and pubs!

    the shower in our bathroom had a flimsy curtain and some bedding could be better. also, could use a little more air flow since the windows only opened a tiny bit.

    delicious breakfast
    fantastic dining
    old mattress

    We recently enjoyed two fantastic dinners at the attached Michelin-starred restaurant, which were way better than expected, and the breakfasts were delicious too! The cozy atmosphere really helped us relax, and we loved lounging in the lovely common areas. The mattress might be a bit old, but it didn't stop us from having a wonderful time overall. definitely try the mackerel for breakfast! 😊

    A lovely guesthouse in a great location with friendly staff and a comfortable atmosphere. The breakfast was excellent, but the room could use some updates and it was a bit of a walk to parking. the stay was enjoyable with beautiful sea views.
