“A great destination for a short break, food is lovely too”
Very conveniently situated on the main street, homely and welcoming. Very quiet at night despite the central location. Restaurant food was excellent. Staff were lovely: after we had checked out our car broke down on the street outside, they gave us free coffee and offers of food - they were really helpful whilst we waited for the RAC to come to sort us out

“Lovely suite with superb views both sides over beach and hills”
Really lovely suite, with everything we needed including (we got lucky!) a bath and separate shower. Everything we needed and (almost) all in good order. TV in both rooms. Right in the centre but very quiet, with everything on hand and a short stroll to the river, countryside and beach. Lovely breakfast. Cosy friendly bar area. We ate in the restaurant in the evening but plenty of other options within a short walk.

Lovely bright room, well decorated and comfortable. Lovely location. Had dinner and food was good. Breakfast was absolutely great too. We had our dog with us and there was a doggy gift box when we arrived with treats and a rag toy - nice touch.
