from arrival we were made to feel very welcome. Our room was huge and all the facilities were immaculate. great place to stay and the daily cake was amazing. Nothing was a bother to Moira and i can honestly say that this was by far the cleanest and best guest house we have ever stayed in. Cant wait to go back. Guys if you are going to have a few days in Seahouses look no further than Malaber Guest House. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The best Guest house we have ever stayed in, more than home from home. Moira and Brian are lovely, the perfect hosts, absolutely nothing is too much trouble and the homemade cakes waiting for you in your room after a long day out and about are perfect and delicious. The rooms are so comfy and spotlessly clean.The breakfast menu is so extensive it's hard to choose but we definitely didn't need to eat again until teatime. It is perfectly placed to explore not just Seahouses but all the surrounding beautiful areas. They have a lot of returning regulars too, so that tells you what a lovely place to stay it is. I highly recommend a stay here, we shall definitely be returning
We had a beautiful large room, tastefully decorated and very clean. The breakfast was very tasty and Moira couldn't do enough for you, and to top it all cake in your room every day! Highly recommended.
I wish we could give more than a 5 star rating for this guest house! Our hosts went above and beyond to make sure we had the best stay possible, even catering to our dietary requirements, which we’d not told them about prior to arrival and had no expectations of them catering for! We will definitely stay here again in the future! Super clean, lovely rooms and only 5mins walk to the harbour. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
Easy to get to, car parking a bonus. Moira and Brian are lovely. The room (no2) was beautiful and large. Very well thought out with a comfy bed.. Breakfast was fabulous. Would definately be back.
Five Stars dont give Malabar justice.. they deserve so many more stars.. its truely exceptional ... we love staying at Malabar when we are on our diving trips. Moria and Brian are so friendly and make everything about our stay really priceless and memorable .. we havent stayed anywhere that tops this B&B.. Thank you for a wonderful stay and see you in 2025.. The BiG Scuba Podcast
Thank you both for a lovely stay. Special thanks for drying our clothes after we got soaked in Storm Amy!
Felt like I was walking into my mums house. The most friendly welcome, immaculate and comfortable room and Moira helped plan our 3 day stay with things to do and places to eat. Even son and hubby rated her 10 out of ten. Beautiful garden and nothing at all seemed too much trouble for her. The welcome homemade cakes were delicious, and she offered beach towels (we had forgotten ours) bottle openers, wine glasses to name but a few. Amazing hosts in a beautiful part of the world.
A 6-minute walk from the harbour, this intimate B&B in a low-key brick house is 1.9 miles from the Farne Islands and 3.5 miles from Bamburg Castle.
