Our family had a truly wonderful stay at this charming and welcoming hotel. From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home thanks to the warm hospitality of the staff. Each morning began with a delicious full English breakfast, complete with quality coffee and cheerful service that set a positive tone for the day. The location was perfect for our family — just a pleasant 10-minute walk to the beach, which our kids absolutely loved. It was the ideal base for a relaxing and enjoyable seaside getaway. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would happily return here again in the future!

Amazing hotel. A real find. The owners are so welcoming. The room has everything you need- particularly Yorkshire tea bags. The facilities were fantastic for the price and what we needed for a weekend stay. Moretti on tap and a pool table in the cosy bar. The breakfast was exceptional. Will definitely stay again and would highly recommend.
