Hubby just returned from 2 nights at this lovely guest house.
Exceptionally clean room, we booked a single but said he had a good size double bed with immaculate en-suite. Very friendly service, fabulous breakfast with home made bread. We will definitely be booking again together soon.

Excellent welcome very helpful and informative. Very Covid secure ensuring everything is cleaned and people are separated out as much as practicable.the room is well appointed with a beautiful king size bed and lovely ensuite with large shower. The breakfast has a large choice for all appetites we loved the smoked salmon with scrambled eggs on a muffin very tasty. Close walking distance to town and beach front. Parking limited and tight but owners very happy to move cars around as and when required.
