The hosts are very nice, always available if you need help or information. They like what they do and it shows. Room was nice, clean and comfy. Bathroom was clean and everything worked properly (except for the wi-fi connexion on the 3rd floor, had to go down in the dining room). The decoration and furnitures are light so you don't... More

This guest house is wonderful, the owners are very helpful. The parking is very good and they let me leave the car there for half of the day after we checked out. They found my iPhone charger which I had left in the room and hung it on the car door so we would not forget it! The showers were... More

A lovely B&B situated in the town centre. Parking was offsite and they even had laundry facilities (not free) on site which was a bonus. Room was clean, cosy and comfortable - everything you'd expect in a quality B&B. A minute's walk into town and harbour. Delightful place that we highly recommend. More

We stayed for two nights. The house was lovely, big & clean. The room had a nice, big comfortable bed. Really close to town centre, but not noisy. The Guest House also has a couple of choices for breakfast. We even got a lift to the train station. Thank you, & we'll definitely be back! P.S. Contact them direct to... More

We stayed two nights, but split them buy going on an island trip for a few days in between. Moyra and Stuart were very accommodating and helpful. This was our second to last bed and breakfast on our trip, and it was by far our favorite. The room was lovely and cozy. It was great to have our own shower... More

We had a lovely two-night stay at the Raniven Guest House. Our room was quite comfortable. Moyra and Stuart couldn't be nicer or more accomodating. Breakfast was terrific. Restaurants and shopping are just a few minutes walk away. There is also an off-street parking lot. All-around, a wonderful stay. More

We stayed at Raniven Guest House for two nights. It was a perfect location, with restaurants close by for dinner. The room was very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was superb! Moyra was great at helping us find our way around. It was nice to be able to do some laundry onsite also! We hope to come back! More
