Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Ellies Guest House is praised for its convenient location, within a short walk to the harbour, beach, and town, where guests can easily access shops and cafes. The breakfast is consistently highlighted as excellent, fresh, and hot, with a great variety of options, setting guests up for the day. Many appreciate the clean, spacious attic room, complete with tea and coffee making facilities, as well as views across houses, though some have noted a slight dog smell upon entering and some grime along the edges of the floorboards. Being able to park on the school car park is an added bonus.

Really good Stay, A Gem of Hospitality

friendly hosts parking permit flexible options short walk
I found the hosts genuinely cute. They provided a parking permit for my entire stay without me even requesting it. Breakfast was wonderful (especially the omelets!) and I noticed flexibility with the options. The location allows a short walk to the town center.
The hallway lighting seemed a bit dim.
