Poltair Guest House

I enjoyed my stay at the Poltair Guest House very much. Our room was on the ground floor just a hop from the check in desk and we enjoyed a large room on the front of the house with windows facing the sea. The neighborhood is very quiet and there is a lovely park just down the street. It is an easy walk to the coast and there are restaurants and a grocery store just 10 minutes from the guest house. The host was very friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast each morning and had plenty of food to start our day. I would highly recommend the Poltair Guest House.

Best value hotel I’ve stayed in England. Every amenity, well thought out and nice breakfast. Can’t fault it. ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Second time staying here. Always a very homely feeling. Staffs are v friendly. Lovely breakfast. Best part is the wonderful sea view fr the room plus a lovely touch of bottle of wine on the house. Situated in a quiet neighborhood and within walking distance to beach and train station.

Wonderful place. I agree with the review which said that although the staff (waitpeople etc) is very friendly and charming, the owner or manager is rather brusque and stiff. The hot water in our sink did not work for the first day and the manager was less than ideal in fixing it (fortunately, it didn't affect the shower). However, aside from that, the property is LOVELY with a fishpond, a smallish garden, and balconies/patios for several rooms; the room itself (Osprey) has a superb view and a patio, as well as being rather spacious for a UK guesthouse. Breakfast is in a nice room with window seating available; the staff at breakfast were completely outstanding, warm, and helpful in every way. Good, if not exceptional, food, and lots of it. Location on second row back from beach, so a pleasant quick walk; not too far to town/restaurants. I would stay here many more times.

Cramped room with low ceiling. I hit my head twice on a low beam over the bed. Breakfast was average. Accommodations were booked through a tour company on our behalf and we were certainly disappointed.

We arrived early and our lovely host was so apologetic about the room not being ready! Even made us a cup of tea. What a warm welcome and totally unexpected, we thought we’d have to drop our suitcases and be banished until check in time. 😁 We were very relieved to discover our Heron Room was located on the ground floor as our suitcases are heavy. A very clean and spacious room, comfortable beds and tea/coffee, chocolates …even a little bottle of wine. So thoughtful. Breakfast offered a good variety, even kippers which I love. Delicious. Parking is out on the street but easy and plenty of places.
