Sometimes if you are really lucky you stumble on a real find - Halcyon House is just such a place. The property is a large private villa just a short stroll from the beach and no more than a five minute drive to Main Streets bars and restaurants. As good as the accommodation is - and it is very comfortable... More

We stayed 4 nights to the halcyon house. The hosts are very friendly and welcoming and the house is marvellous. Great decoration and a very personal touch from the hosts make it feel like home. Especially the breakfast is very rich, well served and delicious. Only negative point: the coral room is not to be recommended. It is quite small... More

A beautiful villa located in a very nice neighborhood, this is one of the rare occassions where you actually stay in someone's private home. The hosts were very sweet and we really enjoyed our stay! We had booked the smallest room available but it was absolutely sufficient for us. Who needs a huge room when all you want to do... More

Once upon a time one comes accross a hidden luxury place, where you expect just average lodging. This is one of those places. There is hardly any indication that this is a guest house - so it's easy to miss without GPS. However, once you are in, you see how big the place really is. We were given a free... More

My husband and I stayed at Halcyon House as part of a first wedding anniversary trip. We cannot fault the place- we stayed in the Kingfisher suite which was stunning and beautifully furnished, and the most enourmous bathroom I have ever seen! Service was excellent, the owner mad us feel incredibly welcome and the breakfasts were fantastic! Cant fault the... More

My husband and I had the pleasure of staying here for two nights and we can honestly say that this was and is the best guest house we have ever stayed in. If only we could have stayed for longer! We had booked the Nautalis room but due to repainting we were kindly upgraded to the Kingfisher suite which was... More

We stayed at Halycon House for five nights at the end of January and we stayed in the Nautilus suite. We had such a lovely time and can thoroughly recommend this B&B! The location is very good and you get secure parking if you have a car. Our room was absolutely fantastic and we even had two bathrooms! The B&B... More

If you are looking for unpretentious, comfortable and clean accommodation you need look no further. We spent a really happy three nights here. Judy and Caroline are charming and their attention to detail exquisite. Masses of special little touches are included within the price; you will have to go there to discover what they are! It is three minutes walk... More

Judy and her daughter Caroline do a great job of making you very welcome in this homely bed and breakfast in a beautiful seaside town. A top quality B&B. Everything about our stay spelled luxury and quality. More
