Walking distance to the beach, shops and pubs. We did not have a problem with the parking as we did not move the car for 3 days whilst we were there but I can imagine in the height of Summer it might be tricky! Would 100% recommend and would 100% rebook. We stayed as a couple and one small dog.

It has a very homely and well loved feel. The decor is very tasteful and the art and decorative items were all in keeping with its location. The soft furnishings and linen are high quality which was appreciated. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay - Thank you
