Booked by my partner for the weekend.The room was nice and as described, however the bed let it down a lot.We had 2 singles pushed together to make our king, which is OK for some, but we had to lay apart as one of us would end up sinking into the middle (gap) and was very uncomfortable.Parking is suitable for 3 cars only due to size, and the approach is very steep.But the welcome and service we received from Lana was amazing.How she spoke to us and made us feel is key, in any hospitality type of business, and I feel she really should be working at the Savoy, London..

Lovely light and airy room with a great sea view. After check in you get your key with an automatic key fob for the front door so it's nice and quiet. Excellent location only 10 minutes from the sea front or high street. The landlady Grace is lovely. We enjoyed our stay that much we were lucky enough to add 2 extra nights. Highly recommended and we will be returning 🙂. Thanks to Grace and her staff. We will be returning!
