John was so welcoming and made us feel that nothing was too much trouble. He made sure we had everything we needed and our stay was therefore very comfortable and relaxed. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The choice of breakfast was superb and the quality of the food was excellent.

Great location, great breakfast, comfortable and well stocked room, John was a friendly and helpful host.

Lack of dedicated parking and climb up the hill could be a problem for elderly/ infirm people.

A really nice B&B.

10.0

Spacious, comfortable and well equipped double room with a large en-suite shower room conveniently located on a side street just off the town centre. Excellent breakfast and a friendly, helpful host. Easy access to the coast and surrounding countryside.

My wife would say that the hair dryer was a bit weak. The blinds let the morning sun through and could have been more effective.
