The property which was immaculate was lovely with comfortable beds. The host's were friendly and helpful, Sue is especially lovely. There were lovely little personal touches that made it very homely. There is a lovely reading room where they serve drinks including alcohol for use of yourself or if you have guests visiting you which is allowed until 10:00p.m and the breakfast is excellent with beautiful presentation. We are going to stay again and walk the Costal Path. Thanks Paul and Sue Xx

Very nice welcoming with great info. Also great location, very close to nice restaurants. The breakfast was outstanding. Big room with a big bathroom the decoration a bit outdated and could hear every step from the people above. But it was a quiet place with families as guests.
