We had an exceptional stay at Viva Guest House. The property was immaculate throughout, with every area maintained to a very high standard. The facilities were excellent and made the stay incredibly comfortable. The breakfast was superb — fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. Most of all, the hosts were extremely friendly and knowledgeable, always happy to help and offer great local recommendations.

We stayed one night as we had booked to see a show at local theatre. Usually we would stay in self catering but thought due to short stay try a B and B which we have not done for several years.. The location, staff owner/ landlady and breakfast were great. You are made welcome with a friendly service. The room was exceptionally clean and a comfortable bed. It was quiet and restful . I would recommend if visiting local area. Price was good and options explained to make it even more cost effective. Forgot how good B and B can be if it's done well. Thanks a lot.

I booked a single room but when I checked in they had upgraded me to a double room at no extra cost. The room was very clean. There was a good selection of tea/coffee. There was a small chocolate bar and biscuit that I wasn't expecting.

The location was perfect for our holiday - we had the use of a beach hut on Walton beach. The site was lovely and quiet in the mornings and evenings. It was great having a fridge/freezer.
