We were only 1 nigth there but it was an unique stay. Terence and Piper are really friendly and helpful hosts. From the first step into this house we felt like "coming home". The room was amazing - so lovingly decorated... and the best shower gel i've ever had 🤣... Never before we've seen a "home cinema" - every Monday at 7 pm the guests can watch a film in a small cinema area with original seats. Also breakfast was top - we didn't miss anything. If we come back to the southwest of uk we will surely make a longer stay in this beautiful house!

The Varley House is a little outside of town in a quiet neighborhood. Rod is an attentive host and has an outstanding service from the arrival to special requests, as I wanted to send extra luggage home. The shower was grand, the room is spotless and inviting. I'd definitely stay there again and can warmly recommend.

Our host was incredible! He greeted us at the door and instantly made us feel at home in our room. We had the twin room and it was spacious and came with lots of bonus extra facilities which we weren't expecting (like firestick, tablet, mini fridge). There was even extra Toiletries in case we forgot any, and delicious fudge and biscuits in our room. The breakfast was fresh and delicious, great selection of continental too. Every extra step was taken to make us feel like we were on a luxury break!

The room was very clean, it wasn't advertised as en ensuite although it was. The staff were friendly, there was lots of choice of breakfast and my order was taken upon check-in. There was plenty of milk and extra tea bags for my room. . It was perfectly located for me right by the SW coast path. It was peaceful and quiet at night. I would stay again if in the area. The fresh fruit salad at breakfast was simply the best I have ever had in a hotel/guest house!

Beautiful guest house renovated to a high standard in a great location. A short walk into the town and harbour. Our room was perfect and the attention to detail was appreciated. We stayed in the Deluxe King which was spacious and tastefully furnished. This guest house is like a boutique hotel with two lovely hosts who ensure you want for nothing. Breakfasts were amazing especially the eggs Benedict! 10/10.
