The cottage has a well-appointed kitchen. It contained everything needed to prepare meals. Each bedroom included a nice en suite bathroom with a shower. The location is very close to the town center.
Parking is somewhat limited on the premises.

the location was quite good, a short walk to the train station.
The room i received did not match the description. I got neither. there was no prior notification or apology about the downgrade, just an assumption that i would accept it.

Nice stay in a Unique Setting

i found the room very spacious and well-decorated. there were tea and coffee facilities, also an iron and a hairdryer in the wardrobe. The owners are passionate about the hotel and its history, something I appreciated. The location enabled easy walks to the town centre and the beach.
the price i paid felt higher compared to other options i had considered.

i noted no breakfast was available at the hotel . however, nearby cafés provide this service. it's only a 15 minute walk to the town centre to find options and a scenic cliff tramway takes you to the seafront.

A mixed experience at this hotel
comfortable bedbeautiful decorshower mouldstreet rubbish
The room included a well-stocked hospitality tray. The four poster bed was comfortable. I appreciated the warmth of the room. The room's decor was beautifully appointed.
I noticed mould hanging off the shower head! There was also mould all around the shower tray. The price I paid was above the average for other accommodations in the area. There was no breakfast included. The approach to the hotel was up a back street with rubbish! all over the street.
