“The location facing the sea provides a truly captivating backdrop, especially from rooms like number 14 which boasts remarkable views. Hosts Graham and Gabrielle clearly make guests feel at home, with rooms noted for their individual decor and spotless condition. Breakfast is a standout, with a well-presented, fresh selection that manages to be both delicious and worth the value.”
