Reviews of The Olive Branch 4 stars

Wonderful last-minute stay at the Olive Branch, Jo was super friendly and helpful with parking instructions and welcoming us! It's a lovely building, very spacious and the room was fantastic; well equipped, spacious, clean! The bed was super comfy, we were even given a full English breakfast in the morning which was a nice surprise (not that it's not stated, just didn't note when making the original booking). Great stay and would come back in a heartbeat. Great location, quiet rooms, lovely hotel. 10/10

Very good breakfast Very convenient location

Central location, very cosy and nice rooms. Great breakfast too. Very nice atmosphere with lovely hosts. I generally agree with the prior reviews. I recommend the place however please read the negatives for a full picture.

I realised days after paying that the price I paid was higher than what was being offered on Booking.com. While it wasn't a huge sum, it's the kind of thing that leaves you with a negative impression. I should've picked up on that on the spot though. Booking.com also advertised parking, but there is no parking at the hotel itself. You'll have to find a spot at the quay lot, which is obv a roll of dice in terms of parking spots + peak season charging run all the way from 8 in the morning until 8 at night.

Great location with sea view room

Nothing

Fabulous accommodation, rooms were really comfortable, very clean, breakfast was super, all very tasty and high quality. Location was perfect even had a sea view and the harbour. Highly recommend.

Would’ve preferred a shower rather than a bath, the bath was a lovely one but I had a injury to my coccyx so getting in and out of it wasn’t easy also really conscious about washing my hair with the hand shower as it was difficult trying not to get any water on the floor.

Perfect location lovely staff. Home from home

Good breakfast, nice staff and a cosy atmosphere.

Staff, food and location

All was good

Exceptional breakfast

The area is very run down

Best breakfast ever. The poached eggs on smoked salmon was first class, absolutely delicious. The staff/owners were helpful and kind (could leave my bag for a few hours)

The mattress on the bed was excellent quality but too firm for me. Because of this I had hip pain and slept badly. I needed a mattress topper

Location was really nice and character of the building interesting

Seagulls living on the roof didnt seem to sleep and “talked” all night

The room was nice and the bed was very comfy. A few cobwebs in the eaves but otherwise clean. The breakfast was nice with a good choice and plenty of extras. The bathroom was large with a roll top bath, the plug was fiddly, wouldn't stay down had to screw it in place.

Before we booked we rang about parking and were told there was free parking, the street above and below. This was not the case, you could park on the street above after 6 pm if there were any places untill 10 am the next morning. When we arrived we were told we could park at a car park just below the b&b this cost £15 for 24 hours as we planned to stay local and we were staying for 4 nights this cost us £60 for the week. I think they should explain this in the booking information, if we had known we wouldn't have stayed there. I think they should organise a parking permit for people who are staying.

Excellent,, excellent room, staff, cleanliness, and a most excellent breakfast. We also went for our evening meal, and the staff were amazingly helpful, in sorting out a vegetarian meal for me , five stars.

Not being able to park close by, but at the bottom of the hill,,, we were able to drive up and drop off our bags, but it still left us with a hill to climb, not so helpful in our later years, however,, very worth the climb…

Warm welcome and good communication Very helpful owner/staff. Excellent room with good shoe and comfortable bed Lovely breakfast. Quality produce. Great coffee

Our room was huge with fab sea views. Really clean and a large comfy bed..Breakfast was really good and staff so friendly. Close to shops, restaurants etc.

Nothing to dislike.

Welcoming hosts, comfy beds, and fantastic breakfast

No parking, had to pay to park a short walk away.

Location, staff, breakfast

No showers in the double rooms we booked

Very clean and comfortable room. Superb breakfast

Nearest car park is £15 for 24 hours

An absolute gem, we had a lovely stay and couldn’t fault anything about this place. So comfortable and welcoming, great location with a fantastic breakfast and amazing service. We’ll be back for sure!

Absolutely nothing.

Lovely place and lovely people. We stayed one night in the superior room with an awesome sea view and the biggest bed I've ever seen.
