This is a lovely place to stay, the place was spotless, the shower was fantastic and all the little extras and fittings are of good quality, much higher spec than normal. The price was good and the breakfast was fantastic, the towels and bedding was so white you could do soap powder ad with them. It's very difficult to criticise... More

Lovely rooms with sea views. Very welcoming. Excellent breakfasts. warm and cosy. The only thing I would say is to be aware the lift is very small, so if you are claustrophobic and can't manage stairs!! this B and B is not for you. For everyone else it's a gem.
