Lovely old building in quaint seaside village. Nice friendly atmosphere. Room and bed rather small but maybe to be expected in such an old cottage type property.

Looked good but failed to perform

Room was good but first offered one on the second floor of a cottage in the next village. Good idea to take a ball of string to ensure you can find your room a second time. The food was disappointingly average, the steak was okay but would have been improved by a pepper sauce or cheese sauce or even beetroot mayonaise. The wine was scandalously over priced and pretty poor!
