Its individually decorated rooms and complimentary traditional breakfasts add to the charm, while free street parking and proximity to the seafront enhance its practicality.

Linda, the owner, gave us a lovely welcome. I felt so welcome. we saw her often ! she reminded me of a friend. we stayed in room 5 with sea views. It was a great way to begin each morning. the room was spotlessly clean and contained everything we wanted.

The owner were friendly and provided a warm welcome. The room had a balcony with sea views and it where very nice to start each morning with that view. The room was spotlessly clean and contained everything needed. The town is only a couple of minutes walk away.

The hallway had a strange smell, I did not like that. The over-bath shower attachment were situated too low and the shower curtain did not pull all the way across. It was difficult using the shower. The kettle had something wrong, all hot drinks tasted weird, I was forced to use bottled water.

linda, the host, greeted me warmly upon my arrival. i saw her frequently and she always asked if i needed anything. she provided basic breakfast options like porridge and pastries which i am so grateful for. it was a cute experience.

the over-bath shower attachment was quite low, and the shower curtain did not fully cover the area. this made it difficult to shower comfortably. it's the only thing i would change.

The breakfast buffet was more than adequate , with a plentiful selection of items. The room was spacious with wonderful views. The hotel is near the town centre and the beach. It's a stone's throw away, really.
