Stunning small village to stay with the river and hills at the back and the seaside at the front.

Pros: Centrally located within walking distance from the railway station. Good size family room with seating area and table. Kitchen had most things you needed. Really enjoyed the garden area out back. Would suggest perhaps a fold away table and chairs in the kitchen?

Cons: Steep stairs to climb with bags to reach our room. We had dinner there which was in a lovely real old feel restaurant. Food was great we felt portions rather small.

Laura 10/10

United Kingdom 🇬🇧

Pros: Location was great with parking. Place is clean and comfy and our room had a new ensuite which we weren't expecting so it was a nice surprise. There's a kitchen available which I can see being handy for people and the outdoor space looks lovely, which I can imagine is great when the sun is out. The host was friendly as well. We stayed in for food which was good, with the restaurant having a lovely atmosphere. All in all, room are basic but for the price, it's a bargain and we'd recommend.

Cons: Nothing.
