This is a lovely guest house, and Jackie and Charlotte could not be more attentive. Excellent location, with limited parking, Opt for the cooked breakfast as it will set you up for the day, although the continental is plentyful.

Jackie and Colin were great hosts. The B&B has easy access to the Harbour and some very good restaurants. It is also a good location for walkers doing the South West Coast Path.

We can't recommend The Melville highly enough. A luxurious stay, wonderful, friendly hosts, and an amazing breakfast each day that kept us feeling full until teatime! We will definitely return.

Very comfortable and cozy room. The room to me was a cross between a country bedroom and a cabin in the woods. Extremely comfortable bed. Above average size for the bathroom and useful to have the fridge and coffee maker. Walkable to downtown...

A good position to get down to the Harbour. The 2 small rooms we had did make it feel more roomy. The staff were super, very friendly and welcoming. Good breakfasts.
