Excellent location, comfortable beds, plenty of pillows. I would have loved some seating area, but we were using the accommodations for sleep mostly, so we socialized outside of the rooms.

Be careful staying at this property I booked this place through experia and paid £153.00 in March 2024 I was staying on the 15th of March 2025. For tonight. Then I notice on my bank account that £114.00 from my bank account without and warning. I have asked experia to sort this out without no result so Austin’s guesthouse has taken more money without warning me before. So be careful very careful I will not be booking this place again very unhapp.

Great value for money

We were so happy with our accommodation. It was perfectly located within walking distance to the coach station and castle, as well as the main shopping precinct. Our family room was gigantic and massive value for money.

Central, cost effective!

It's very reasonably priced and in a perfect central location. Central enough to walk around but not on the main street, so a quiet night sleep is guaranteed! Only downside is the slightly off smell of the carpets/exterior (a couple of plug in air freshners would make a huge difference!) will happily stay again!

Get the en-suite/extras room

Having the option of this room made my life so much easier, plus the location… the only reason I took off a star was because of the bed, they need to change the bases round as the one at the top of the bed was broken, which didn’t really help my sciatica, but apart from that, would definitely come back!
