We stayed at the Fort Chatlotte Guest House by the end of May 2021. The owners of the guest house, Jim and Lynn, are the best multi-tasking hosts, chefs and travel advisors! The guest house is located in a strategic location and a walking distance to many wonderful restaurants.
The rooms are well kept, bathroom cleaned everyday and the shower is very strong. Refresh your body and mind after a long day touring the islands.
We definitely will come and stay again at the Fort Charlotte Guest House!
After checked out, our daughter just realised that she left her phone charger in her room. We had

Lynne and Jim provide a clean and well appointed space along with a welcoming and warm atmosphere that is difficult to beat. I almost hate to say this, but the price for their establishment is definitely undervalued. You get so much for your stay here. A well appointed clean and safe space in the center of town. Delicious home-cooked breakfast every morning. Advice and recommendations from knowledgeable local experts. And most of all, incredibly friendly and thoughtful service. I don’t think I’ve seen hosts who are more concerned with their guests satisfaction. Highly recommend!!

This was by far the most schizophrenic experience I have had at a B&B (and I have very broad experience of them). It was, improbably, both one of the best B&Bs I have stayed at (rivalling any for comfort, friendliness, and homeliness) and one of the worst - Fawlty Towers-like in the bizarre and unexplainable turns the two hosts (Lynne and Jim) took.
Positives: lovely room, nice view, good bed/sleep, scrumptious breakfasts (including extra breakfast on arrival), most friendly initial booking on the phone, kind offer of help storing personal effects (including a model yacht) while I travelled in

I have stayed a couple of times. The rooms are so clean and fresh and super cosy. The bathroom is spotless. Great size tv with loads of channels and all tea coffee etc. The breakfast is amazing and I have to say that it's one of the best breakfasts I've ever had. The owners are wonderful, polite and so helpful and extremely approachable.
I can't wait to go again.
