The room was very lovely. It had everything I needed. A little fridge had fresh milk and two bottles of water. The breakfast service was great. I had the full English. Everything was cooked fresh and presented beautifully.
The room I had was very snug. The beer pumps were out of action. I was told last orders were at 9.30pm when I arrived back at the pub at 10pm for a drink. The pub was now closed.

Really good Food and Great Location!

food qualitygreat locationsmall toucheslimited space
The food was excellent in both quality and portion size. The location was great for walks into town and to the beach. The room had nice small touches that felt very cute. I told my parents about my stay and they booked their trip here too.
I found that there was not enough hanging space. I had to keep my clothes in my suitcase . Drawers would have been a welcome addition.
