perfect locationbeach strollsmall roomcorridor facilities
The location was perfect! A short walk took me to the town centre and I could also stroll along the beach. The grounds were beautiful, I would have loved to relax outside on a nice evening.
The room was very small for the price. Tea making facilities were located down two corridors, rather than being in the room. There was no evening meal available.

Seaside Manor Stay

My room had amazing sea views. I easily looked down to the beach area from my window. The view across to the Black Isle was very fine. Breakfast was excellent, I think. The hostess gave a very warm welcome. I would return.
The tea machine was down two corridors, not in the room. I did feel that was slightly inconvenient.
