Charming, family run B&B. A real hidden gem. It’s clean, very nicely decorated, the breakfasts are delicious too. Gorgeous garden and wave cut hedge at the front. Access and parking were very easy too. Everything’s been thought about in a way I’ve not often experienced at a B&B.A couple minutes walk from a wonderful viewpoint with cafe, beach, local shop, pubs, bus stop and coastal footpaths.We found it extremely relaxing and could have happily stayed longer. We’re already making plans to come back.
