excellent b&b experience

perfect hostsbreakfast variety

martin and jo were perfect hosts. they did everything they could to. our room was well appointed with plenty of tea and coffee. breakfast was delicious (i especially liked the variety of fruits) and plentiful.

we were in an attic room (it was described as a family room), it wasn't suitable for a family.

Really good Stay

i found the location ideal for accessing the town center. a permit allowed easy parking in a nearby car park, approximately 150 yards away. the provided breakfasts had plenty of choice. the hosts jo and martin ensured rooms were well-kept with supplies topped up.

my attic room was quite hot during a heatwave, something i think could be improved with better ventilation.

Martin greeted us and helped with the luggage. So kind! our room was super clean, including the en-suite. This really set a great tone. breakfast had many options. Everything was freshly cooked to order. jo recommended places nearby. It was useful (i visited a great museum!).

The attic room felt slightly too warm. The heatwave didn't help.

the guest house provides reserved parking in a local car park (a great perk). it sits close to the beach and local amenities. key areas require just 10-15 minutes by car.

Breakfast includes a range of hot food. cereals, fruits and toast. they cater to individual food preferences. I requested gluten-free bread. every morning the breakfast was just perfect.
