Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Grey Mullet Guest House boasts a prime location right in the bay, practically on the main street and just a short stroll from the town and beach, with restaurants and bars only 5-10 minutes away. Rooms provide tea and coffee making facilities with biscuits, and letting guests leave luggage after check-out proved useful. While some guests have noted that rooms can be small and basic, the central location is frequently appreciated.

The bed was really uncomfortable. I woke up with a back ache EVERY morning, not a great way to start the day. the room was very small. There wasn't much space to move around or store my luggage. the bathroom door didn't close properly, and that was a problem.

excellent locationcentral positionkind hosthelpful resources

the location was excellent. it was right in the centre. the host was very kind. he gave us enough resources like teas, toilet rolls, or biscuits whenever we needed them.

The house was a bit noisy. I could hear sounds from other rooms. it reminded me of the house would collapse when someone moved in the other rooms.

the location is unbeatable, right in the heart of everything. the room was neat, the size felt right and everything i needed was there! i also found resources like tea and biscuits readily available whenever i wanted. it was so convenient!

the electrics in the room made some buzzing sounds! i noticed them coming from the plug sockets by the tv. it was a little distracting during the night, so i recommend checking those sockets.

the location proved convenient, placing me quite near the shops and eateries.

my room was situated right next to the main entrance. i experienced disturbances due to constant door slamming late into the night and early mornings. the buzzing from the plug sockets by the tv also became distracting after a while.
