About us

Our Beautiful Victorian House

Built in 1880 our home is a Victorian terraced house situated opposite St Johns church along the seafront. Just a 10 minute walk to the town and train station and 20 minutes to the harbour, we benefit from close proximity to the sea but also the quieter neighbourhood. All of our guests say how lovely and quiet the house is – perfect for a stay to recharge your batteries. Our dining room on the ground floor has the high ceilings and original coving valued by the Victorian architects. The front porch also still has the original tiling but modern architecture has allowed us to install a downstairs toilet – perfect after these long journeys! We benefit from two en-suite rooms on the ground floor – perfect if stairs are a problem.

Lynne Fisher – The Chef & Boss

Lynne was in the caring profession as nurse and midwife for the last 35 years – latterly working in healthcare IT and helping out during the pandemic as a Nurse Vaccinator. She really likes people and has honed her breakfast skills.  She turns her hand to most things, especially after 15 years with Andy, rolling up large bouncy castles and being Spongebob in the past! She takes it all in her stride.

All great preparation for the diversity that comes from running a guest house. As well as being the cook, she also loves managing the social media aspect of guest house management, posting regular news and photos on Facebook and Instagram. Lynne meets the new guests at check-in and makes them feel at home.

 

Andy Fisher – Front of House

Andy has a background in logistics and health and safety management. Latterly he has been running his own business, buying and selling bankrupt stock, courier work and on sunnier days erecting bouncy castles. A real Del boy.

He now takes on those practical roles in the guest house as well as ensuring everyone is happy in the dining room in the morning. He enjoys his front of house role and likes to talk!

Chloe Fisher – The chef in the making

Chloe is the apple of her Daddy’s eye. She is now 18 years old, learning to drive and working in Nautico Lounge in town, as front of house. Say hi to her if you see her!

She is a budding chef in the making too and often cooks the family meal in the evening. Much to Lynne’s delight!

Bella the dog

Bella is our 12 year old ShihTzu cross Maltese. She loves to walk especially on the beach in the winter and is a real Mummies girl! As we are not classed as dog-friendly accommodation Bella strictly lives below stairs.
