The strand is charming, but wow, you'd think basic heating would be standard—my room was freezing, and I had to remind staff🙄. don't count on watching TV. the streaming didn't work, such a surprise for a 'modern' place! I almost gave a good review but just couldn’t, feeling utterly neglected.

The atmosphere in the guest house is quite inviting, offering a

A cozy ambience with beautiful art pieces adorning the walls. I truly appreciated the comfortable bed and friendly staff, though the noise from neighboring rooms could be disruptive. it was a lovely experience worth returning to.

I had a lovely stay at The Strand Guest House. The room was cozy and clean, providing a comfortable atmosphere. The staff were exceptionally friendly, making my experience delightful. I particularly enjoyed the convenient bar and bistro next door, offering great food.

Cooking smells lingered.

Absolutely loved my stay! ! So cozy and convenient, such a delightful evening experience.

The TV in the room had access to Netflix and YouTube, which was a neat bonus for some entertainment after a long day. Plus, the room itself was slightly better than the common areas, giving a glimpse of what could be if more attention was paid to upkeep.

The entrance stairs were not appealing. the carpet and decor looked tired and grubby. There was soiled cotton wool left in the bathroom from previous guests, which is just unacceptable. The toilet was a struggle to flush and clearly needs repair. Even breakfast was underwhelming, featuring only cereal and porridge with just little sachets of milk, and no sugar. not exactly the spread you'd hope for. Not to mention, the strong cooking smells from the kitchen above lingered from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM, making it hard to enjoy our stay. If you’re over six feet tall, good luck. the bed was short with a footboard that could use some trimming. On top of that, the smoke alarm went off twice during our stay, completely ruining our sleep. I should also mention that a Sysco lorry was running its engine outside for 20 minutes at 8 AM, just when peace was needed.

Great free parking and lovely bar area. Limited breakfast options.

Had a lovely stay with a spacious room and cozy sitting area. The bar next door served amazing food, while the coffee and tea setup was a delightful touch.

The strand was in a perfect location, just around the corner from the bus stop. the staff were really friendly and helpful. they recommended a great spot for breakfast, cafe go leor, where we had a fantastic meal and delicious coffee.

totally recommend

The lovely room featured a comfortable bed and an adjoining area with a sofa and tea/coffee facilities. The food was exceptional, especially the European bread served during breakfast. noise from neighboring rooms could be bothersome at times, and soundproofing could be improved. Despite arriving late for a one-night stay, I appreciated the spotless cleanliness and great shower pressure.

Couldn't recommend more for a weekend getaway

Cozy room, friendly staff, the nearby bar/bistro offers delightful food, making it an ideal place to unwind after a day of exploring.

Nothing negative to say.

i had a great stay at the strand, much better than my last visit. the room was comfortable, with a kettle for tea and coffee. after a long climb, the food at the pub was a delightful surprise that really hit the spot!

no heating in the room upon arrival.

Lovely room with comfortable bed, but walls were too thin. could hear neighbors.

Perfect for couples looking for a cozy getaway

I was really impressed by the warm and friendly staff, right from checking in. The room was lovely and had a sofa with tea/coffee facilities, made it feel like home while on the road.

It wasn’t exactly cheap, but I think it was still acceptable.
