Beautifully appointment room, well located within reach of local amenities, although its located on a steep street so may not be suitable for all. Fantastic idea to be served your breakfast in your room - wonderful selection on the menu.

Warm welcome. Great location. Very comfortable nights sleep. Quiet. Choice of breakfast which was very nice and a great start to the day. Free parking in local roads but a little difficult to find a space late at night. It was my birthday and they left a lovely bar of chocolate in our room which was so lovely. The hosts also accommodated my lactose intolerance which was very much appreciated. We would recommend a stay here.
We didn't dislike anything. Just to mention, as per the description of the room, the ensuite is compact. We stayed for one night so not a problem at all.

The hosts are incredibly kind and welcoming. The room with seaside view was beautiful and spotlessly clean. Really nice breakfast, served to the room. We would have stayed longer, but room was already hooked.
The mattress was a bit too soft, but that is a very subjective point of view. And still, we slept well.

The host John contacted us the day before we visited and provided clear information we needed. The room was comfortable, quiet and clean, with a heater in the bathroom so we could dry our clothes. The breakfast was amazing, so many options and was very delicious cooked by John in the morning. He was very friendly and kindly provided us more information about travelling around in the area.
We got there quite late so there's no parking space left in the street. We had to park in a public car park down by the seaside, around 7mins walk from the house, which is not too bad if the weather is ok.

The owner was very friendly. The room was a nice size as was the bathroom. Unusually, breakfast was served in the bedroom which we found much nicer then sharing a dining room. Breakfast was very nice.
Limited parking.

A beautiful BnB with comfortable room, friendly hosts and a great breakfast! Location is very close to the coast for beautiful walks
It was difficult to park nearby when we arrived (but it was a Saturday in July so probably to be expected!)
