Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Khyber Mount Guest House is praised for its central location, a short walk from the Harbour, as well as its amazing breakfast and spacious rooms, some with great views of the Abbey. Guests consistently highlight the ample and spotless rooms, equipped with coffee and tea, though a few guests noted that some en-suites or beds can feel a little small. The full English breakfast is a particular favorite, setting guests up for the day.

small bathroom thin walls

i found a couple of things disappointing. the bathroom was quite small and lacked counter space. also, the walls seemed thin, as i could hear conversations from the adjacent room. it detracted from the otherwise peaceful atmosphere and impacted privacy a bit.
