    Nothing

    Very nice bed and breakfast that you have to experience before they, unfortunately, might disappear one day. (Who will in the future work so hard, passionate and cheap..). Amazingly nice and friendly couple who run the business and want us to get the best out of our stay in England. The breakfast the best which was prepared for us according to our own free wishes. The view of the beach and sea right outside the window and breakfast room magnificent! Map and descriptions of historic beautiful roads to Brighton where we went afterwards, the couple arranged so that it would explicitly suit us. England at its best and this is how we want to continue living and living. Our best thanks and warmest recommendation that more people try this fantastic bed & breakfast!

    You can’t improve perfection!

    Breakfast was prefect, piping hot with the best poached egg ever. All ingredients were fresh and good quality. Very tasty indeed. Fresh ground coffee with fresh orange too. The bedroom was clean and bright very spacious. Comfortable bed and pillows. The bathroom was spotless with a very large walk in shower that was powerful with hot water. We had a separate lounge overlooking the sea, it was a seaview indeed. You could help yourself to tea and coffee.

    Perfect location for overnight stay before taking an early (ish) shuttle the next day. The room was newly decorated and spotlessly clean. Breakfast was plentiful, delicious and ready for us at 7am.

    Very warm welcome on arrival. Owners were very generous and welcoming. The room was immaculately clean and tidy. The bed was the comfiest bed I’ve ever laid on and breakfast was superb. Our room was relaxing, spacious with a gorgeous sea view. We also had dinner in the pub downstairs and it certainly didn’t disappoint. We can’t wait to go back!

    Needed a plug near dressing table. Also needs a small coffee table in sitting room. Just constructive criticism.

    People who owned it were very nice. Lovely bed and shower. Lovely breakfast. The bonus was having a sitting room as well as en suite bedroom.

    Nothing to write about.

    We requested Plant Based breakfast. Wendy and Stuart went out of their way to accommodate us. We therefore had an excellent breakfast. The room had a fabulous view, right by the shore. looking towards Dungeness. The linen was crisp cotton.

    Not really a dislike, it just felt a little odd going into a pub to check in when the suite was next door. This location was actually much better, though.

    - Friendly but not intrusive hosts - Room overlooked the sea as anticipated. - Lovely decoration - Very clean - Great breakfast - Wonderfully quiet and peaceful - Easy parking
