10/10 Exceptional

The staff, especially Rachel and Michael Angelo, were incredibly helpful and kind. The stairs can be a bit challenging if you’re not used to them, but the staff’s care and attention, the lovely breakfast, and the building’s charm more than make up for it. It’s a small hotel, which makes the experience feel especially personal — almost as if you’re the only guest in the house, with every need thoughtfully taken care of.

10/10 Exceptional

A delightful 4 day city break with my mum. The friendly, helpful staff and calm guest house made the trip lovely. Chris and Mickey were warm, smiley and went above and beyond when very busy they still each gave us a warm welcome. The yummy biscuits, water and hot drinks available were most welcomed too. The guest house was ideally located, easy to find and Central meaning we could pop back in the afternoon for a short rest when mum needed it. We stayed in the superior room which was spacious, clean and with soft, comfy bedding. I will certainly be recommending this as a place to stay with friends and family. Thank you!

From the moment we arrived, the hospitality at Cale Guest House was exceptional. Check-in was warm and welcoming, complete with a thoughtful offer of coffee and breakfast.

This small guesthouse is a gem! Our twin double room had a large sitting area and was probably more than 400 sq ft. The communication before arrival was excellent. The breakfast was very good and they allowed us to check our luggage while we explored the city. I would stay there again.

Located in an excellent, central area. As similar reviews noted, it was fairly noisy when someone was walking past the bedroom door due to the wooden floorboards. Breakfast was a nice selection of pastries/ meats/ cheeses and hot drinks. Would stay again and recommend to family and friends
