2. Albert & Victoria Guest House

"Very nice B&B, in good location. Just a couple of points to mention which was why I have only 4/5. - Room and en-suite smaller than expected, but still nice and comfortable - Breakfast was lovely, but would prefer being able to self serve juice and tea/coffee. Also a full English breakfast should use real sausages, rather than tiny chipolatas - Biggest issues was noise with voices and bathrooms clearly audible from other rooms late and night and early morning."

"The staff at Osborne Apartments was fantastic! Huge shout out to Tegas at the front desk! He met every need (and we had many) that we expressed. He even helped get a takeout order ordered with his personal phone. The location of the apartment was perfect – – just a few minutes walk from the seafront and in a quiet area of town with street parking – – a huge plus!"
