The man who introduced us to the hotel was lovely; he showed us around and explained everything and made sure we knew everything. He made us feel really comfortable and even said if we need help we could phone him at any time of the night; luckily that wasnt an issue. The beds were so comfy and the shower was lovely and hot. Would definitely stay again!

Dear Jan & Steve, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude for our wonderful stay! Everything was simply perfect: - Your hospitality was overwhelming - we felt welcome and well taken care of from the very beginning. - The breakfast was a highlight every day - delicious, freshly prepared, and with great attention to detail. - Our room was clean, cozy, and exactly what we had imagined. - We were traveling with our children and were given a very warm welcome - thank you for the child-friendly atmosphere! - The hotel's location was ideal - within walking distance to the city center, yet quiet enough to relax. We would love to come back and can only recommend your hotel! Thank you again for everything! Best regards, Lydia

Everything! Joe and Steve were so friendly and welcoming, my room was beautiful and spacious for a single room. Very clean, bright and comfortable, the little touches included were a very welcome surprise (homemade fudge and cakes) and bucks fizz in the fridge!). The breakfast was absolutely lovely, and plenty of choice. Not far from the seafront. And an added bonus of a cat, which for me was perfect! Lovely stay, would absolutely stay again

What a little hidden gem!! I love the detail and thought of everything that went into the room and the needs of a solo traveler. First of all I turned up early at 10am, plenty of parking at the back of the hotel. Then my room was all ready so a bonus of an early check in, so I could dump all my stuff and go. Like I said I was a solo traveler so I had a single room on the bottom floor right next to the dining hall. For me the room was perfect, clean and comfortable with the extra added bonuses of a extra towel for my hair along with a full length mirror (‘little things in life), coffee and tea facilities, a cubby cupboard to store luggage, a mini fridge with a small bottle of water and a TV. The breakfast was outstanding, I basically had everything!! Porridge with Greek yogurt and fruit along with a great quality Full English. (photos to follow) Danny & Dolores were great hosts, answering all my questions and showing a general interest in my trip, along with them giving me a map to help me find my way round. Also your just a short few minutes walk down to the beach. If I had to give any niggle, it would be the bathroom could be a squeeze for the larger person, especially around the sink area. But I had no personal issues at all. Plus if you’re not an early riser (I am) you may get woken up via the light coming in via the shutter slats, and maybe by the lush smell of bacon coming through from the dinning room. The latter I really enjoyed as I knew I was in for a treat of a breakfast!! But these are the most little trivial things, and would not ever put me off staying again. I will 100% be back and I’ve recommended the Southbank Town House to all my friends and family, and as a quite hard to please ex travel representative. I’m impressed!!

    Lovely guesthouse, hosts were very accommodating and helpful. Location was perfect close to shops and beach. Room was clean and tea and coffee was always replenished. The breakfast was amazingly good, great variety including a full cooked breakfast which was very nice all round and a great guest house. It's a bargain for the price. We will be back!

    Lovely property, well kept, very clean and great location close to harbour. Only issue is there are a number of steps up to the property if you have any mobility issues. Lena is a great host, couldn’t do enough for you, the breakfast is one of the best I have had and I’ve stayed in a lot of places.
