We received an upgrade to the seafront apartment which was amazing - fantastic accommodation complete with a large balcony overlooking the sea. The proximity to the beach for all the accommodation was brilliant though.

5 star seaside B&B

I can't recommend enough this great pub B&B. The staff are all so friendly and professional. We arrived at a really busy time over Xmas and I was surprised the manager immediately took us up to our room rather than just hand us the keys. The food was excellent and the service top notch. The location right by the beach is amazing and so easy to get anywhere you need to be. The breakfast in the morning was again top notch and the coffee was delicious A big thank you to everyone at The Waterfront Inn and I hope to stay again in the summer

Stayed here for a couple of nights over a long weekend and was very impressed. The rooms are very nice, clean and well decorated, accessed via a small flight of stairs around the back, away from any noise of the pub main building. Plenty of guest car parking, very good food and drinks at decent prices and friendly helpful staff. would stay here again and recommend to others. Excellent choice form the breakfast menu and it was all good.

Very strange check-in arrangements. No arrival desk, just helpful bar staff. Also, our room was really nice, but we had to go outside and up stairs (in the rain, carrying our bags). Breakfast was great.

Room (petrel)was lovely and comfortable - above the bar but no noise after 10:30 but we were warned about a band playing as a B/H weekend. Didn’t bother us. Breakfast plentiful and lovely, fresh towels every day
