Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Location on seafront was ideal and our room “Sea View” lived up to its name. The first night was very windy and crashing waves were a bit noisy as you would expect but it gave an interesting vista. Having breakfast in the room whilst looking out at the sea was a bit special as you don’t get that everywhere! Wendy and Stewart were excellent hosts and made us feel at home. We went by public transport and the bus stop is just round the corner from the property.
Negative: Nothing. All good
Summary: Lovely short break in comfy room and friendly hosts.
