Had a great stay at View Bank. Malcolm and Julie were extremely warm, friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious with healthy portions. The room was spotlessly clean, and they were very accommodating for dogs. Nice views of the Bay and excellent access to local walks.

Walking from the beach up totheguest house we started bickering and fighting. We arrived andour hosts showed us to our rooms, helped us book a restaurant, and even drove us back down thehill offering a lift back... More

We stayed during the October holiday for two nights. I read the hotels website and had good correspondence from the owner Julie. The owner did mention the hill but no offer was forthcoming to collect guests as stated on their website. I had to hike up a very, very steep hill with a large bag and a five year old... More

I stayed for nearly five weeks and had a great time. My room was small but Mal and Julie fitted a TV into the room specially which was a life-saver! It is a great B+B and value for money which is really important in this day and age!

Viewbank Guest House, situated overlooking Whiting Bay, has it all. An excellent evening meal, surrounded by Clapton memorabilia, can be pre booked, and the breakfast was just as good. The rooms are on the small side but this did not detract from a good nights rest.

This was our fourth visit to Viewbank over the last 6 years and we still continue to find it consistently good. Julie and Malc are always very welcoming and helpful and the accommodation is very nice with comfortable beds and a large lounge downstairs for guests use. The breakfasts are superb with an excellent choice and always beautifully cooked. If... More
