This is an absolute gem of a holiday stay! We had the top floor which had a separate bathroom/ toilet which we knew about before booking, but as our room was the only one on the top floor, this was no issue at all.Beds very comfy (only wish they came in king size!), and lots of space to hang around the premises if you wish.We found it very thoughtful of them to let guests use cutlery and plates for any takeaway dinners.Breakfast is fabulous and lots of options ranging from full English, American pancakes and vegetarian.The check in instructions were very clear and Pam and Lorna were only too happy to help us with any questions or any additional things we needed.We would love to be back!

Great B&B within a short walk of the beach (~10 minutes). Very friendly and welcoming, it's clean and comfortable with an excellent breakfast selection of healthy continental plus cooked. Absolutely nothing to fault at all, you won't be disappointed.

We spent two nights at this excellent bed and breakfast. The rooms are clean, well decorated and spacious. Nice little touches. Breakfast exceeded our expectations - home made raspberry jam delicious. Everyone very friendly. Good location - though located on a busy road so bit of road noise at night.
