    Couldn't get my wet clothes dry as the heating was off for the Summer. Stairs were quite steep - might be an issue for the less mobile.

    Great welcome. Comfy bed good Wi-Fi. Got upgraded which is always a bonus. Huge tasty breakfast. Pretty much what you want from a seaside BnB.

    I was booking on the day I was staying and only needed a room for one night. I also needed to check in late. So much effort was made to accommodate me and make my stay possible I was astounded and so pleased. I stayed in room 4 which is lovely, clean and bright with white walls, but also had a big cat theme with the wall art and bedding. It was an unexpected treat that really made me smile. I couldn't possibly recommend this guest house more highly. Everything was perfect and the service was well above and beyond what I expected and for an amazing price too. Thank you so much.
