Ideal B&B

Lovely B&B tucked out the way but not too far from the seafront and town. Host was amazing, friendly and really helpful and she is what makes this place a great place to stay. Look forward to coming back again in the near future!

Wish we had a longer stay!

We had a very enjoyable albeit brief stay. The beds are comfortable, the vegetarian breakfast was delicious. The room was very clean, our daughter has a dust allergy and she was absolutely fine. Catharine and Chris are excellent hosts.

Super location... on-site parking was a bonus, but being at the end of a cul-de-sac there was easy parking around anyway. Friendly host, lovely breakfast, quiet & relaxing.
