We are a small family run Guest House 2 minutes' walk from the seaside, The rooms are stunningly presented to a high standard being newly refurbished using top quality fixtures and fittings. The rooms are double glazed, light, and airy, spacious and represent excellent value for money. The house is a Beautiful Victorian/Edwardian villa, with many original features which is over 100 yrs old. We are not a hotel with 24-hour reception but offer a very high-quality service to guests.
