“What struck me about this property is how well it balances pub charm with considerate hospitality; the team's attentiveness to guests' needs stood out. Its location near the train station simplifies exploring the coast, and the in-house restaurant, I gather, is quite convenient. For families or solo travellers seeking fuss-free comfort and authentic fare, it has much to recommend it.”

Truly Nice Stay

spacious room comfortable bed helpful staff

I was impressed with the spacious room and I loved the big bath that was available. The bed felt comfortable and enormous. Breakfast seemed good, and the staff are very helpful and friendly for all our needs. Nothing seems to be too much trouble here.

Music seemed loud under the room, and it was active very late. Sleep was difficult that night.
