Awoken in early hours by people banging ion floor(s) followed by lots of shouting. Could have been a domestic or drunken argument but still spoiled nights sleep- went on for ages.

Originally booked on another site that said breakfast was available but I cancelled due to finding a cheaper offer and I'm so glad I did as it turns out they do not supply breakfast so I was almost robbed. The stay was lovely bar the people staying upstairs that sounded like a herd of elephants and went to the toilet every 20 minutes till nearly 3am so all you could hear was bang, bang, bang, flush all night. I like that there is no curfew and we were able to have late night out Friday but we made the effort to be as quiet as possible unlike others staying there slamming doors and stomping up and down the stairs. Id likely stay again but maybe not on a weekend if I'm going to lose so much sleep

Immaculate property which was spotless inside. As a woman travelling alone I felt safe, everything I needed was within walking distance plus parking is free outside the guest house. Great restaurants across the road. My room was spotless tastefully decorated with everything I needed I slept so well I left later than intended. Would definitely recommend staying, I’ll definitely stay again.

Lovely B&B

Lovely B&B and friendly owners, although due to the current situation we didn't see much of them. Exceptionally clean and comfortable, with a good shower (always a priority for us). Good location for access to the town centre and sea front. We would definitely stay again.

I was in room 2 which was a single room but it was clean, well maintained and exceptionally comfortable. It was airy given its size but the window came with a blackout blind. I would definitely stay here again. I didn't meet the owners but communication was excellent and they spoke to me on the telephone to ensure that everything was satisfactory.
