We booked a four night stay here to celebrate our Golden Wedding Anniversary. On the positive side, the room was smart, well furnished and the beds were particularly comfortable, with quality bedding. The heating and hot water were efficient too. Likewise the breakfast choice was extensive for a small establishment and everything was well cooked. On the phone with the owner I explained I needed a free-standing shower (not over a bath) and near to the lift as I had mobility issues. We got what was supposed to be an extra spacious bedroom with a wet room. I dread to think what size the other rooms would be, as ours was only what I would have expected, and it was only a wet room because there was literally no room to include a shower cubicle! There were a variety of handrails provided, which were very necessary, as the floor became quite slippy when wet, and the water extended right up to the doorway even after a very quick shower. The biggest negative, however was the lack of evening dining in-house, which was one reason we had chosen this accommodation. This was due to the lack of a chef, but we only found out an hour before we were ready to eat! Thankfully the accommodation opposite (Wellbeck) did evening meals. A word of warning if you intend to leave on one of the first ferries of the day - breakfast isn't served until 8am. They will do you a pack, to pick up before you leave but we were leaving at 6am, so we made our own arrangements courtesy of Tesco.

The staff were all very friendly and helpful (my daughter has a learning disability); the breakfast was good-variety of food, well cooked (buffet style); room was spacious -with a wet room- and everything was in a good state of repair. Good location-less than 100m from main promenade Would definitely recommend /stay again
