Excellent value for a B&B . The lady who runs this place is very friendly and helpful . Nothing is too much . Rooms are basic but very clean and tidy. The only fault with this place is the seagulls , we had to clean our every morning .

Violet is an amazing host and couldn't have done more for us. We are so grateful for her hard work and that of her husband George. We were made to feel extremely welcome and they were very accommodating.Travelling with a 5mo can be quite daunting. But we were put at ease by Violet,she was very understanding and had a cot ready for us in the room and a high chair in the breakfast room. The rooms are spotlessly clean, good selection of tea and coffee provided and impeccably clean towels and sheets. The only slight negative is the beds are a bit squeaky and hard. But that's just Personal preference and they are perfectly fone. The location is also ideal as it has the highstreet within walking distance. The b&b provides free parking for guests and is a nice ,budget friendly stay we would definitely recommend.

Our stay here was lovely. The room was lovely and tidy when we arrived, real home away from home feel. Brilliant location, just a short walk from town. Good parking availability. The staff, I didn’t catch the lady’s name, were very welcoming. Breakfast every morning was lovely. Brilliant selection. Very tasty full English and my daughter’s favourite of cornflakes then Nutella on toast. The beds were a little hard for my preference but I slept all the same. Would highly recommend and can’t wait to stay again.
