    The room was very clean, it wasn't advertised as en ensuite although it was. The staff were friendly, there was lots of choice of breakfast and my order was taken upon check-in. There was plenty of milk and extra tea bags for my room. . It was perfectly located for me right by the SW coast path. It was peaceful and quiet at night. I would stay again if in the area. The fresh fruit salad at breakfast was simply the best I have ever had in a hotel/guest house!

    Beautiful guest house renovated to a high standard in a great location. A short walk into the town and harbour. Our room was perfect and the attention to detail was appreciated. We stayed in the Deluxe King which was spacious and tastefully furnished. This guest house is like a boutique hotel with two lovely hosts who ensure you want for nothing. Breakfasts were amazing especially the eggs Benedict! 10/10.
