    delectable breakfast
    clean room
    exceptional host
    key confusion
    owner absence

    The breakfast was truly delightful with a make-your-own pancake machine, a hit for any foodie! The room was spotlessly clean, and Isabel was an exceptional host, going above and beyond to ensure our comfort. Plus, the ample parking was a breeze.

    There was a bit of a kerfuffle over the keys when I arrived since the owner was away, but it turned into a minor hiccup in an otherwise stellar stay.

    Chur! The room was tidy, cozy as, and had nice tea and coffee facilities. But the bathroom could've used a bit more upkeep.

    clean room
    cozy atmosphere
    limited supplies

    Clean room with plenty of amenities, including a kettle for tea. Cozy atmosphere perfect for a relaxing night.

    Limited shower supplies. just hand soap in the bathroom. The surrounding area gets quiet after 8 PM, which might not suit everyone.

    scrumptious breakfast
    spotlessly clean room
    bathroom maintenance

    I thoroughly enjoyed my stay, especially the scrumptious cooked breakfast and the spotlessly clean room, although I wished the bathroom maintenance had been a bit better. I would definitely stay again!

    spacious room
    wonderful host
    delectable breakfast
    short stay

    Staying at Southbank Guesthouse was a fantastic experience! The room was huge and bright, and the ensuite bathroom was spacious. Isabel went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable, even offering to help with laundry. The breakfast was incredible, especially the perfectly cooked eggs and bacon, and there was ample parking available.

    Nothing to report, just a short stay.

    comfy carpet
    super clean

    will definitely go back there again

    The room was super clean and had everything I needed, hairdryer, conditioner, body soap, and more. I liked the electric kettle for tea and the comfy carpet. The private bathroom had all the essentials. Plus, nice wifi and heating, and I even had outdoor furniture! Spa facilities were a lovely bonus.
