fantastic coastal stay
great kindnessplentiful foodattentive staff
the staff greeted us with great kindness. our bags were already taken care of, a definite plus after my coastal path walk. i found the breakfast menu extensive with good, plentiful food. the staff continued to look after us very well.
The hallway carpet showed some wear. It could definitely benefit from a refresh.

Average Stay, Some Issues
helpful stafflovely sea viewsmall roomlimited wardrobe space
The staff were helpful and polite . The sea view from the room was lovely (can't deny that).
The room was quite small. It barely had space for a wardrobe. There were just five hangers on a rack (not ideal for a longer stay).
