The Riviera Guest House

The Riviera Guest House

8/10 Good
"A good, clean property with a spacious room. King sized bed roomy but mattress a little soft (but just my preference for a harder mattress). Bathroom very spacious with a bath as well as a shower (I prefer a bath). The owner upgraded us to this room free of charge so that was a lovely gesture. We found the decor a little old fashioned-again not quite our style. Biscuits accompanied our tea/coffee making facilities, a nice touch, but only normal tea and coffee, no herbal teas offered. On arrival the owner told us about the parking permit (very good value £5 for 2days) although we had already put money in a meter across the road from the property so had we known about this beforehand we would not have paid at the meter unnecessarily. (Perhaps I had missed reading such useful info in the blurb beforehand?) The breakfast was very tasty and plentiful although I would have like a croissant and/or pan au chocolat to be offered."
