The stay was lovely, Denis and Anita are very accommodating and friendly. Lemon cake on arrival and home baked cookies in the room are great touches. The guesthouse is in a great location and the breakfast is exceptional!

Wonderful guest house
We enjoyed a wonderful stay at Denis and Anita’s guesthouse. They were wonderful hosts and we really appreciated the little touches such as the lovely cake and cookies on arrival. Breakfast was fantastic and our hosts were really helpful when we couldn’t find a space to park on the street on arrival, also with recommendations for places to eat locally. We would wholeheartedly recommend The Archway Guest House and hope to return in the future. Thank you Denis and Anita
