Myself and my friend were sharing room 3 which was a twin room. We were slightly disappointed with the room as the bathroom was very cramped and had the smallest sink possible, it was hard to clean our teeth. The room was very hot and offered no air con.

We stayed at Southview from 25th to 27th May. Overall the stay was good but I had paid extra for a "deluxe" room and was disappointed to find that the room was standard size and furnishings were what I would expect rather than being deluxe. The bathroom was small and the door did not close properly on the shower and... More

Check in was very easy, there was the usual selection of teas and coffees in the room and we were invited to try the complimentary selection of alternative fruit teas etc from the dining room. After the guided tour of the... More

Having been on 3 mountain walking trips in Northern Spain some years ago, organised by Southview's proprieters, Kate and Barry, I was very keen to stay in their guesthouse. I spent a very pleasant 2 nights at Southview. The room was the most spacious I have experienced for a long time, with modern, comfortable furniture and a beautifully-fitted en-suite. Lovely... More

The guesthouse has a lovely relaxing atmosphere. We stayed in room 11 which was very clean and modern room and had a spa bath. We... More

She even brought us a couple of slices of carrot cake to our room after checking in! There were lots of little touches like that which... More
