Exceptionally clean. Good location for restaurants, pubs, shops. Garden was great and a little suntrap. Safe for our dog. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks for the lovely cake and wine.

Situated within a short walk to the town centre, this property offered everything we needed for our holiday. The Bolthole was exceptionally clean and well presented - it was a home from home. This property showed that accommodation which allows one dog can still be very clean - something which is very important. The welcoming treats were a lovely touch, too. We would highly recommend The Bolthole. Thank you for a wonderful holiday.
