    Very comfortable bed. I upgraded to get an en suite which was lovely with a good shower. Friendly host. Privacy guaranteed. Walking distance to a park and the beach and lots of restaurants and takeouts. Parking on street is fine - always found a space. Breakfast was phenomenal! And although I had no dog, being a dog friendly guest house is a bonus. Also very quiet. Plenty room for clothing. Unlimited tea/coffee/milk and plenty choices of tea. Free view tv and free wifi (decent strength).

    Great location near the beach but also the town centre and local pubs and restaurants. Great hosts, They were very helpful with local information. Rooms were spotlessly clean. Great choice of teas, coffee and other beverages in the room even fresh milk in the mini fridge and fresh filtered water. Great personal touches. The Full English Breakfast was a veritable feast cooked perfectly. The hosts chatted to us and other guests during breakfast and it was this friendly personal approach which will make us book again with them.

    Paul and Sally are great hosts, super welcoming. Their guest house is super clean and homely. Our room was well decorated with all amenities and little touches like a bottle of water, biscuits, robes and slippers. Breakfast the next day was delicious and plentiful in a very relaxed atmosphere. We are going to make this a yearly trip we enjoyed it that much
