Fantastic host, lovely comfortable room and first class breakfast with perfect eggs!!
We had a lovely stay at this B&B. The hosts were very friendly and welcoming and we really enjoyed the cooked-to-order breakfast the following morning.
We stayed in the family room, which was surprisingly spacious considering it comfortably accommodated a double bed and two single beds. Everything was spotlessly clean and well looked after. A particularly thoughtful touch was having extension leads on both sides of the double bed, making it easy to charge phones and other devices overnight — something that’s surprisingly rare and very much appreciated, especially as I use my phone as a bedside clock.
Overall, a comfortable, well-thought-out place to stay and we’d happily return.

Nice hosts. Good breakfast. Enjoyed surrounding area.
We stayed for 5 nights and wish we could have stayed longer. Sally and Paul were perfect hosts, friendly and chatty. The room was clean and well equipped. The location was great, not too far from the centre or the attractions but nice and quiet. Only had breakfast once but it was delicious. Everything was clean and we had all we needed. Definitely will be booking again when we can
For the most part this is a truly excellent family run guest house and I can definitely recommend this spotlessly clean, nicely decorated and well appointed place to stay in the quiet residential area of the town.
The house is located midway between the town centre with its public transport interchange and the seafront with its attraction and beach both are about 10 to 15 minute walk away.
A fantastic stay and fully equipped family room with comfort and sophistication. The girls loved the very strong and sturdy bunk beds as well as the chaise longue by the window. Location is perfect, 10 min walk to the Amusements and beach. Breakfast was first class and cooked to perfection! Thank you for a great stay, we would most certainly recommend and return.
