Good stay for business

Great value as price included bedroom, comfy bed. Rooms are a bit worn but for work, decent, Wi-Fi is good as well. Bottom of the road leads to the beach which is stunning. Parking can be a nightmare but I fell lucky.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Room was spacious and spotlessly clean, with a view over cottages of the beach/sea. Considering that we were directly above the pub, the noise level was fine. Breakfast was lovely (full English). On street parking VERY limited and risky, though we were given a permit to park in the cricket club carpark, which was a proper 10 minute walk away, so drop your luggage first!

Cute little accommodation above a pub! All the staff were super friendly, the family suites were spacious enough for myself, my husband and our toddler. She loved using the bunk bed which is in a separate room. Breakfast was great! A real little gem. Would defo stay again!
