Reviews of Straven Guesthouse

missingWrote a review on 29 Novsea viewscommon roombar availability
Deluxe double room offered outstanding sea views that made mornings a pleasure. The common room provided a lovely hangout with stunning vistas, ideal for relaxing after a long day.
A little bar for a nightcap would’ve been a nice touch, but it wasn’t a dealbreaker. The checkout process was smooth, but having to find a spot nearby for a night drink was an inconvenience.

Let’s talk about what really matters
A wonderful weekend spent in a place where hospitality shines. The seafront location is perfect for relaxed strolls, and the breakfast is a highlight, especially the Shakshuka! Clean and comfy rooms ensure a restful stay. The helpful hosts create a warm atmosphere, making every moment special. I cannot wait to return!

the so-called deluxe double room with sea view was only slightly above average. and while they offered to hold my luggage post-checkout, how charming. a little bar for a nightcap woudl ve been nice, but I suppose improvisation is the name of the game here. i was almost convinced to give a good review, but I just couldn’t.

Had an amazing stay with fantastic breakfast options, and I especially loved the Shakshuka! The common room was perfect for relaxing after exploring, and I enjoyed the peaceful environment for a great night’s sleep. If only they had a small bar, but grabbing a drink from the shop and unwinding with the view worked just fine. 😊
