Friendly hotel with fabulous breakfasts and either a great view of the sea (especially at breakfast) or of the cricket pitch at rear. Our room had the cricket and a lovely balcony to sit out and watch from. Room was huge, clean and tidy. Reasonable room prices. Staff friendly and helpful. Nothing too much trouble.

The hotel is spotless the staff are very welcoming and the beds are very comfortable. The breakfast menu is great with quality food. Location wise is perfect just far enough away from the hustle and bustle but close enough to walk. Myself and my friend stayed in room 10 which had a nice view of the sea. It was my friends second stay there but my first. I will be going back
