We were in the attic room, it was light and airy and quite a big room. Very comfortable and clean. Staff were really friendly and the breakfast was great! You are In a really good location as everything is just a 5/10 minute walk away!

Because it's on street parking which you get a parking permit for it can take a few circles around before you can get one. We arrived on a Saturday afternoon and there were no spaces anywhere as people tend to leave massive gaps between them so no one else can park! This is no fault of the guest house as all of the b&b's are in the same boat but be aware it may not be as simple as rocking up in front of the place and unpacking you may be forced to park 1 or 2 streets away and walk!

The ground floor room with step in shower was perfect for our needs. The room was spacious and comfortable, spotlessly clean. A very comfortable bed. We booked room only. The hospitality tray was generous. Staff were very helpful and gave us local information which was a bonus.

Parking. When I booked I understood there to be parking. However, it turned out to be street,zone parking and we received a voucher for the duration of our stay. It was pot luck we got a space near to the guest house.

The room was lovely, clean and spacious, bed was very comfortable, plenty of refreshments and really cosy having a TV in there to watch also all round a nice hotel to be in and staff very pleasant and helpful we are returning for November 2024 for the next family gathering Thank-you to you all for making us welcome.

The only thing was that you get a 45 minutes window to get down to have breakfast from 8:15am to 9am I think when you go on a mini holiday sometimes you like to have a little longer in bed for example 8:15 to 10:15 giving you a 2 hour window. But other than that breakfast was beautiful could not fault it one bit

The location was great. 5 mins walk to centre, (lots of steps for less able though). Comfy bed. The room was airy and nice flow of breeze from the window. Lots of drawer space and wardrobe. On road parking with free parking permit. Breakfast, which is payable on the day, was hot and tasty. Good communication from the owner and very helpful.

The tv in our room wasn't really watchable. Very dark and unable to lighten or tilt down. The shower in our room was compact, my hubby struggled to get in and wash easily, not much room for movement. Other showers in the other rooms were better.

We liked reay everything. The location, the room itself and how everything was organized with the self check in. It was very privat and with a lot of discretion. The breakfast was amazing. Even vegan and vegetarian options!

A big problem was the wifi. We were in one of the rooms on top floor and tge wifi didn't reach our room. Since there is no common area in the hotel to sit, we just couldn't use the wifi. That's why its only a nine out of ten.

Location was excellent. Staff were friendly and pleasant. Bonus having a parking pass. Clean. Good variety of breakfast with a daily special. Excellent shower and products supplied

The attic room (10) was fine for me as a solo traveller, but there are beams in the room to watch out for. Especially if you are tall. Narrow staircase to room, so some people may struggle. Self check in, so hard going getting my case to the top on my own. However, I would definately recommend and stay again.

The staff are very helpful.The breakfast was 10 plenty of choice and was served by a lovely young man who was very helpful.The accommodation was very clean and tidy The location was near the whale bones if any one is interested. I would recommend this B&B Yes I will go back there This was just what me and my partner needed Thankyou Archers .

Nothing to complain about

The Arches is a very well run, quiet, clean & comfortable quest house. The property is in close proximity to the harbour, restaurants, shops, pubs, attentions etc. The owner was very friendly & welcoming. Although I was ‘room only’ I did eat breakfast twice, the food was excellent.

There was nothing about this property to dislike.

The bed was so comfortable and we absolutely loved the bedding. We slept so well. We loved the location we could actually walk to places. The breakfast was exceptional. The ease right from getting the keys to the parking permit and breakfast menu was very well thought out and easy to do nothing was complicated. Also just want to add the area was so quite my husband and I couldn't believe there was no noise nothing that disturbed us through the night etc. Also the hotel was absolutely spotless. The two members of staff that we saw (A lady cooking breakfast & a young man serving were absolutely lovely very friendly and smiley and were happy to help.

I can't say we didn't like either of these things but the parking was quite difficult trying to get a place but we managed it. (To be expected though with all the hotels on the street) The only downside we could actually find was the TV, it could of done with maybe a better selection of channels. We were also there two nights and would of liked a top up of coffee, sugar sachets etc for the next morning. But honestly these were little things the actual hotel was fantastic and very clean!

Our second time staying at The Arches & we enjoyed it again! We managed to collect our parking pass as soon as we arrived in the morning which was really helpful. The bed was comfortable & the room quite spacious. We didn't hear any noise from other residents, a lovely peaceful stay.

The en suite was very small, luckily me and my husband are quite slim!
