Easy place for a quick stay
Convenient location, perfect spot if you are just needing a place rest your head for the night. Had a decent kitchen etc but we didn't actually use it.
Room was tiny but we literally just needed it for sleep so was fine.

Questions about Seagulls Guesthouse

What time is check-in and check-out at Seagulls Guesthouse?

Check-in is from 2:00 PM. Check-out is by 10:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.

Does Seagulls Guesthouse allow pets?

No — the property states that pets are not allowed.

Is there parking at Seagulls Guesthouse?

Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.

Does Seagulls Guesthouse have Wi-Fi?

Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.

Does Seagulls Guesthouse have wheelchair accessible rooms?

The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.

How do I book Seagulls Guesthouse?

Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
