Reviews and Ratings
The guest house is in a classic British seaside location, very close to the beach and town center, making it convenient yet quiet. The rooms are wonderfully clean and cozy, with modern decor and comfortable beds that instantly make you feel at home. The service was incredibly kind and welcoming, ensuring a pleasant stay. Dining was a delightful experience, with homemade pastries and a communal lounge adding an extra special touch. Although the wake-up call by some noisy neighbors was a downside, the overall stay was made memorable by the friendly staff and great location.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable with a fantastic view of the sea, but some cleanliness issues and odor impacted the overall stay. The breakfast was very nice, making me feel welcome, but some dining options were lacking. The staff were a mix of friendly and rude, affecting the overall service quality.
The hotel was a good find with excellent rooms, though in need of a few maintenance touches. The service was top-notch with kind and welcoming staff. The location was convenient, close to the beach and town. The dining experience was lovely and relaxed near the beach. Overall, a mixed but enjoyable stay.
