“The location proves exceptionally convenient, a true gateway to the coast with ample parking and easy access to local paths and bus routes. I found the rooms, particularly those set back from the main road and pub, to be surprisingly quiet and comfortable, many benefiting from a balcony with genuinely lovely countryside views. Both the breakfast selection and evening meals were notably good, making it a place worth booking ahead for.”
