Chelsea House

We stayed for a week at Chelsea House. We really enjoyed the attention to the details, the hospitality and warmth of the hosts Sharon and Nigel and their whole team. Especially the breakfast and the daily homemade cake to take away was a highlight. Thank you very much - it was awesome.

This was our second visit to Chelsea House, which was our base for the week of the International Sea Shanty Festival. We previously stayed in June 2023 in the Freddy Mercury room and loved the experience so much that we booked the same week the following year before we left. This time we upgraded to the Amy Winehouse room, which is a very good size, and has a side bay window with a sea view. The bathroom area is a little cramped, but manageable. The quality of the towels and the bedding is very high, and the rooms are refreshed every day with tea/coffee and biscuits, and a jug of fresh milk in the fridge. But the best bit about this guest house is the owners....Sharon and Nigel run the business to a very high standard, with customer service an absolute priority. Lovely attention to detail like Nigel personally delivering the omelette he has just cooked for you, and Sharon always in the breakfast room, chatting with the guests, remembering their names, which encourages everyone to chat to one another creating a friendly atmosphere.....and then handing each guest a daily "treat" of her home baking. And Sharon knocked it out the park this year, by baking me some gluten-free treats so that I didn't miss out! We can wholeheartedly recommend this guest house without any hesitation - an amazing experience all round!
