Guest Houses

Whether you’re seeking a cosy retreat, a luxurious escape, or a home away from home, we have a great selection of accommodations for you.

About Guest Houses

Guest houses strike a balance between B&Bs and self-catering, offering private rooms with shared lounges and kitchens for a more independent stay.

Hosts are usually nearby to recommend the best local pubs or arrange taxis, but you’re free to come and go as you please. Many guest houses occupy historic buildings, with quirks like original fireplaces or winding staircases adding character. The vibe is relaxed and unpretentious—think mismatched china and dog-eared guidebooks in the hallway. Ideal for travellers who want a home base without the formality of a hotel.

Pros and Cons of Guest Houses

Guest houses offer a range of accommodation options for travellers looking for a comfortable and affordable stay. A fair number of guest houses are conveniently located near popular attractions, making it easy for visitors to explore the area. The warm hospitality and personal touch provided by the hosts at guest houses often make guests feel right at home.

One of the main advantages of staying in a guest house is the opportunity to interact with locals and gain insider tips on the best places to visit. Additionally, the cost of a stay at a guest house is often more budget-friendly compared to hotels in the area.

However, some guest houses may lack certain amenities that are commonly found in larger hotels, such as room service or a 24-hour front desk. It is important for guests to research and choose a guest house that meets their specific needs and preferences.
