Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about The Wycliffe Guest House from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Wycliffe Guest House is often praised for its convenient location, a short walk from both the town center and the promenade. Many guests appreciate the availability of free on-site parking, though some have noted that spaces might be limited when the guesthouse is fully booked. The breakfast is a highlight for many, and some rooms are considered spacious and recently renovated. However, a few guests have found some of the rooms, particularly those on the upper floors, to be quite compact, with small bathrooms.

unreliable internet thin curtains
The breakfast met my expectations. It was ample and served promptly.
The internet connection was unreliable. I struggled to stay connected for basic browsing. the noise from the street was noticeable, especially early in the morning. the thin curtains didn't block out much light.

super clean room near the sea

free parking excellent location warm welcome
i appreciated the free parking on both sides of the drive. the location was excellent with a quick walk to the sea by turning right out of the building and taking the first right. i found a nice restaurant called cliffe within walking distance and it had good food. the welcome was warm at the b and b.
the toilet flush was a little weak so it needed an extra push sometimes.
