The staff were so friendly, it. The location was indeed perfect, near the beach. The room was cozy, and the shower had AMAZING hot water. The dog-friendly accommodation was a BIG plus for me.

The location provides easy access to both the beach and town center. The pub and the traditional fish and chips shop are located on the premises. The staff were helpful. I found parking available upon arrival.

The tea tray had limited supplies for more than one drink. It was a minor inconvenience.
