    exceptional breakfast
    friendly owner

    Recommend it for solo travelers

    You know, the breakfast is something else. full English, but also fresh fruits, cereals, and all that. And the owner? A former chef! He knows what he's doing in that kitchen!

    Yeah, not exactly cheap, but honestly, it was worth every penny.

    full english breakfast
    sun terrace relaxation
    slight room update

    Arriving early, I was pleasantly surprised to find the parking sorted in no time and the full English breakfast was top-notch, especially with those extra pancakes! I enjoyed relaxing on the sun terrace with a good book and a coffee, the perfect way to unwind. The only thing I'd point out is that the room could use a slight update, but honestly, it didn’t take away from my stay at all! 😊

    comfy bed
    clean room
    well-equipped room
    noisy street
    no issues noted

    The room was really clean and had a comfy king-sized bed. It was well-equipped with a mini fridge and a TV. Plenty of cupboard space too, which is a plus. The bathroom was neat with basic amenities. Just a short walk to town, and there’s a bus stop nearby. Not much noise coming from the street, which was nice. decent space to chill out after a day out.

    Chill vibes and cozy rooms

    Had a super comfy stay! The room was nice and quiet, great for sleeping in. Gordon & Carol are just the best! Breakfast was tasty, and the mini fridge in the room was a nice touch. Only thing is, the parking can be a bit tricky at times. I'd totally come back next year!

    Impeccable cleanliness and great service

    Our stay was fantastic! The room was impeccably clean, featuring quality fittings and a comfortable bed that ensured a restful sleep. The location is ideal, with easy parking at the rear and close proximity to local attractions. The owners were exceptionally friendly and helpful, making our experience even more enjoyable. The only downside was the limited breakfast options available, which could use a little variety.

    would stay there again

    Had a lovely 5 nights in a super clean Budget Single Room. It had a private bathroom with a full-size bath and hot water. The drinks were refilled daily, and the bed was comfy. Great location near the harbor, with easy parking at the back. The owners were really friendly and welcoming.

    had a great time at tusker lodge! the hosts were super friendly and made us feel at home right away. the room was clean and comfy, more space than we expected for a compact double. breakfast was really good too, you gotta try sandys full english, it’s amazing! location was perfect, just 5 mins walk to the harbour.

    only downside was parking situation, kinda tight and limited. also, some noise from the street could be heard at night.

    bathroom door
    privacy issue

    The Tusker Lodge offers a cozy atmosphere with a lovely garden view. I enjoyed the fridge in the room for snacks. Breakfast, especially the avocado toast, was delicious and a great way to start the day. the bathroom door didn’t close properly, which affected privacy during my stay. the location is perfect, just a short walk to the harbour. The service impressed me, very attentive and friendly. I would definitely recommend this place, but I hope they address the bathroom door issue down the line.

    neglected areas

    charming lodge but needs more attention to detail

    The lounge area is inviting, providing a cozy space to unwind after a long day. The breakfast served was exceptional, with a variety of delicious options that really stood out.

    Some areas seemed a bit neglected, impacting the overall experience.
