Great place to stay

Building had tons of character. The room and bed were very comfy, the wi-fi worked great. The bath was shared but we were there off season so had the floor to ourselves. Bathroom was very clean and all amenities included. Was close to a lovely beach

Excellent hotel

The hotel was nice and clean and tidy. The staff were friendly and helpful the room we had was really comfortable and we even had a sofa which was good. The only thing that was not good was we had a hair in the bath that was definitely not ours.

Great Choice for what we paid!!let’s be honest £70 bed and breakfast for a Friday night in June you know pretty much what your going to get!!The room was small and tired with a shared bathroom lots of paintwork needed touching up could do with updating in lots of areas and general maintenance .That said good nights sleep in a comfy bed a good breakfast in the morning (not a fry up)cereals,toast,yogurt fruit with juices tea coffee etc.The entrance was very nice as was the breakfast room! The host was very nice and for the money I would go back
