Parking right out front which was very convenient. The owner answered messages in a timely fashion. Unfortunately there was a very noisy guest next door, which isn't the faculty of the venue. The owner was very apologetic and dealt with the issue.
The en-suite was very small and difficult to cope with as a disabled guest; which I had advised the owner of before my stay. That said I would book the venue again for a one or two night stay as it was very reasonably priced.

Cliff was a welcoming host and his breakfasts were freshly prepared and delicious. I enjoyed having a wide single bed in a decent sized single room. The room was clean and comfortable, and I appreciated the warm duvet and extra pillow.
I would have enjoyed some fruit with my breakfast but that’s only a personal preference. No other dislikes or complaints.

Good location right by the sea front. Easy to get in to the building and find the key box.
Slightly tired decor ie visible crack in the wall but it’s an older property and wasn’t impacting the function of the building.

Cliff made myself and my 12 year old daughter feel very welcome. The location is perfect - close to everything, yet set back so you can get some peace and quiet. The facilities were clean and comfortable. A good choice for breakfast and everything was freshly cooked. Parking available too which was an added bonus.

The breakfast was excellent, far more choice than expected. The host was welcoming and interacted well with guests. Wi-fi worked well.
Only the stairs to the room as one of us has mobility issues. We know that next time, we could request a nearer room with less stairs to contemplate.

Communication was good and everything was easy to find. Room was quiet and beds were comfy. We all slept well. Sadly the breakfast was unavailable during our stay but as we were only stay one night this did not affect us to much.
Had to use a plug in heater to help heat the room but this was easy to use and worked well.

Incredible value for money given the excellent location! Very clean place and nice decor. Host, Cliff, was really kind and gave us money back for the breakfast we changed our mind about between booking and arriving due to the specific meal time window not suiting us.
Pretty basic and cramped with both a double and single bed in the one small ish room. The double mattress was also quite thin and lumpy. The sliding door to the toilet room leaves a tiny gap which felt like a bit of a privacy breach when pooping. But given the price can’t really complain I think. So please don’t take that as complaining, I’m listing facts—most of which can’t be helped easily, and is reflected in price.
The half hour time window for ordering breakfast between 8:30-9:00 is a bit small and not advertised, or at least not clearly enough for us to see it. Was very inconvenient for us and seems too late for an early start and too early for a late start imo. But maybe we’re just weird. Although Cliff explained the reasoning being that same person cooks and does all the turn arounds before the next check ins at 14:00. Also as mentioned we were given the breakfast cost back after explaining we didn’t know about the breakfast situation and that it didn’t really fit with our plans. So all good. We left very happy customers having had a lovely stay! Thanks!
