Easy check in, clean room, comfortable bed, nice bathroom. There are stairs to the first floor with no lift so no good if you have mobility issues. I had a free drink voucher which was nice. The food at the pub was great and reasonably priced. Plenty of parking at the back. Easy walk to many places and not far to the beach. Recommended.

Small,but very clean and renovated room and bathroom. Since the rooms are on the same property as the pub, don't expect perfectly quiet nights: our stay was good,but it took a while to fall asleep because of people walking down the corridor and a bit of noise from the pub (nothing too bad though).
