superb stay

quiet locationcomfortable bedbusy road

RAHUL made me welcome. Nothing was too much trouble. The room was well appointed and my queen size bed felt comfortable. BREAKFAST was optional and great value. The location felt surprisingly quiet most of the time, considering my room was by a main road.

PARKING felt difficult. the pier was located on a busy road. It made finding a parking spot a bit of a pain.

Breakfast service offers good value. The dining area presented a SO cosy and typical setting, accentuated by its bow-window. A full English breakfast is available.
