Wonderful Stay!

fresh fruitwide selectioncoastal footpathnearby golf
The room was clean and tidy. I found the continental breakfast very good, with a fresh fruit selection. It offered plenty of choice with cereals, bread, and jams. The guesthouse location is very close to the coastal footpath, ideal for walking. The nearby golf course caters to those who enjoy walking after a little white ball.

unclear signagebasic breakfast
The signage outside was not clear, I nearly missed the entrance!!! I was not greeted upon arrival. The self-service breakfast felt very basic and lacked variety. I really missed having someone to ask for local tips or just a friendly chat.

fantastic victorian house

comfortable roomexcellent showermodern standardaudible eye
the room was a good size and very comfortable. the ensuite was a decent size, with an excellent shower. the house kept many period features like the beautiful bannister and interior doors. it has been brought up to a very high modern standard in terms of decor and fitments.
i was told butter was on the table. after advising the lady we had used it, an audible eye roll followed. eventually some extra butter was provided begrudgingly.
