Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Gresham Guest House enjoys a perfect location right on the beach front, a short walk from the train station and close to town, with a fridge in every clean, fresh room. Many guests appreciate extra touches such as beach towels, robes, slippers, and fresh milk in the fridge. The varied and filling breakfast with a sea view is a highlight, although some guests have found the double beds to be smaller than expected. The guest house offers a beautiful bookcase with books and games.

decent stay with concerns

nice viewsmall bedlack of servicing
the breakfast room offered a nice view.
The double bed was quite small. I found it an inconvenience. furthermore, the lack of room servicing reminded me of a cost-cutting measure. i expect more for the price i paid.

warm welcomeclean roomcomfy bedgreat location
louise gave a warm welcome when i arrived early. the room was lovely and clean. i slept well because it was comfy. the location worked out amazing for my plans! i was so pleased with that. the breakfast was a good experience too.
the bed felt a bit small given the room size. it was cosy, but a larger bed would have made it completely awesome. honestly, this was the only thing i could think of! everything else rocked!
