The resort was small and very peaceful. Lovely outdoor spaces outside of the room balcony and steps to the beach. A gem of a place.

A pleasant motel for a short stay

8.0

Our accommodation was well equipped and we were provided with a good supply of towels. The location - beach frontage, looking across the water, - was nice and quiet, despite being on a fairly busy road. The bed and pillows were really comfortable, and I slept really well here (I'm not normally a good sleeper). There are two places to eat nearby, within walking distance - The Blackbird, just across the road; and the Shady Rest, a pub/restaurant with an outdoor dining area looking across the water. I would recommend first floor accommodation as it has a balcony with table and chairs. We were on the ground floor and didn't have that (though there is a communal decked area with table and chairs), also you won't hear people clomping about above you and moving furniture around.

− Accommodation is a bit dated. Tiny tablets of soap for washing (would prefer shower gel), and ultra thin toilet paper. The window blinds let in alot of light so I needed a sleep mask so it wasn't too bright in the morning.
