Amazing

Reviewed By Jparkintravel276

We have just spent the night at the Mariners Guest house and we could have easily spent a week. James and Marie were brilliant hosts. Beautiful guest house, central, well maintained, clean, modern and the most comfortable bed I have EVER slept in. The decor is beautiful and hosts were so helpful, breakfast was superb, fresh and plentiful. Coffee was perfect (not that we needed it after such a good night's sleep) absolute little gem!! No doubt we will be back. ☺

Beautiful restored building tastefully decorated and furnished. Stunning features, plenty of space and comfortable bed. Wonderful setting in Royal William Yard which is such a cool area to hangout with numerous restaurants/bars and independent businesses, all right on the water. Faultless service prior to arrival (late train so keys organised in secure box). Breakfast across the green (complete with complimentary deckchairs) in Bistro Pierre so simple and great value. Set is up for a great weekend break. Highly recommend.

I was passing through the area and saw this place on line and it seemed to fit the bill. Despite arriving late in the evening I was welcomed and first impressions were excellent. The owner was courteous and friendly. The place, and the room were spotlessly clean and the it did everything I needed and wanted it to. I met the owner again at breakfast, he was very friendly and polite yet again. the breakfast was lovely, lots of choice and beautifully cooked. On top of all this, even at the last minute the prices were every fair and keen. I would certainly come here again, thank you
