Amazing Hosts and Awesome breakfast!
warm welcome english breakfast short walk
Les and Lisa welcomed us warmly! The gluten-free full English breakfast tasted seriously good! It's just a short walk into town.
The conversation outside by the door was overheard using a Ring doorbell, which seemed like an invasion of privacy! It made me uncomfortable, though the food tasted lovely.

The owners were really cute and caring. They bent over backwards to please their guests! It seemed like nothing would have been too much trouble. They provide excellent, personalized service.

Location

The location is great! It is only minutes from the beach! I found it a short walk into town. It's away from the maddening crowds, though close to amenities.

cute hosts comfortable room english breakfast small shower missing wardrobe used towels
the hosts were cute. i loved how cosy and comfortable the room was. the full english breakfast was really excellent (it certainly made a great start to the day!).
the shower cubicle felt a bit small for me. there was no wardrobe in the room, only a rail on the wall for clothes. i noticed that the towels provided seemed well used.
