The owners were pleasant and helpful. Everything was very clean. The breakfast menu was excellent, and the food was perfectly cooked. There is free private parking round the back. The town and beach are just a short walk away. The bed was comfortable.

We had a great stay here. We felt welcome from the moment we arrived until we checked out after 3 nights! The room was very clean and had everything we needed, more than a lot of hotels provide, they seem to have thought of everything! There were a variety of choices for the pre order breakfast so should suit all needs and tastes. Food was served piping hot and very efficiently. Lovely local produce and homemade preserves, they should sell them! Close enough to everything yet in a quieter part of town so we slept really well too! This has to be one of the nicest places overall we have stayed in and will definitely be going back there. Thank you

Beautiful, quiet room with generous comforts provided, including a fully-loaded hospitality tray with biscuits and chocolates. Spotlessly clean (and not just superficially), and an en-suite with toiletries and ample towels. Bed also very comfortable - definitely no sagging - and a breakfast cooked to order with plenty of choice. Even the car-park was smooth, level and clearly marked. The whole property is beautifully maintained and very convenient for the town and seafront - about five minutes into town and another five to the seafront. Would thoroughly recommend.
