Lovely staff, so friendly and helpful. The room we stayed in, Room 12 was equipped magnificently. Air fryer, BBQ, pedestal fan etc. Some parts are a little outdated (kitchen cupboards, bathroom) but that didn't detract at all from our stay. Very comfortable and homely. Thank you !

“A great place to stay ❤️”
Clean, bright and lovely staff. Fresh milk in a glass jar is AWESOME, such a nice touch. I’ve stay a few times and love the place, parking tight but as long as you can drive then parking won’t be so bad. Wifi real good, beach is like 50 steps away, Cafe up the road on the beach. BEDS, SHEETS and PILLOWS , so clean and fresh. If you want GREAT VALUE and good service then book here.

Location was good, the staff are friendly and would stay again with family. We were able to pop in and out whenever we wanted and the beach is right across the road although we didn't swim. The beds were comfortable and the shower had good water pressure.
