Property convenient for an overnight stay. Room comfortable and lovely clean bedding and towels. Space compact but adequate. The tea making facility and use of a fridge was appreciated. Overall a pleasant stay.

Spent 1 night at Colson House. Room 7 (single en-suite - top floor) - it was clean / cosy / the mattress was so comfortable I slept like a baby / was very quiet. I really enjoyed my stay there and will definitely book again

Lovely, bright airy rooms, spotlessly clean! We found the self check in really easy and communication with property seamless.

A lovely little place. Easy to access and close to the water. The only thing that was inconvenient was the parking. The suggested parking is a bit of a walk especially when you’re carrying luggage. I would recommend to drop the bags off first before parking or organise the parking permit. Other than that, it was a lovely stay.

Everything that we wanted in an overnight stay. Convenient for the town and the beach. Spotlessly clean

Lovely property and the room we had on the 3rd floor was very big, clean and quiet. From the guest house to the pier is walkable only about a 10mins walk and plenty of shops around to grab snacks

I have stayed here a few times and have always found it to be clean and pleasant. Despite being an unmanned property I felt safe and always received check-in information timely. There was tea, coffee, hot chocolate which was refilled on the morning

Well decorated, gorgeous 4 poster bed, we had everything we needed. Good location for walking to centre and cafes and pubs even closer, seafront also.

Nothing to dislike, Convenient for my stay, clean and comfortable. Keyless entry to house and bedroom was useful, no prolonged checking in, but also no interaction with local staff or owners.

We received emails prior to getting to the hotel which was great. We entered the property and had sweets Ona rival which was lovely, we entered the room no problem and once inside we were pleasantly surprised with the room and bathroom. Lovely guesthouse and would definitely recommend and will be visiting again when in town - 5 stars!

Stayed at Colson House a few times this summer. It offers great value - large well presented double rooms, comfortable beds, small but clean bathrooms with decent showers. For a budget guesthouse it’s one of the better ones.
