Perfect Guest House

This place is how guesthouses should be run. Great owners and a great room. Whole place clean and tidy - you can tell the owners care. Breakfast is cooked to order and was very good - smoked haddock, bacon and egg - yum! Will stay here again, and again, and again

An amazing stay

We loved our stay at Gyves Guest House. The room was clean and nicely designed. Breakfast was delicious. Veggie and vegan options available. The true highlight was the hosts' hospitality and the personal touches: home made brownie bites and biscuits in the room, information about what to do in the area and recommendations for restaurants and places to visit.
