How beautiful the inside of the building was, everywhere you looked there was something to catch your eye. Felt like I spent a night in Paris it really was a beautiful place to stay and the comfiest bed ive ever ever stayed in, we didn't want to get out of it in the morning. It was my anniversary , I mentioned that on the booking and when we arrived there was chocolates, wine , a balloon and a lovely card from the host..she did go above to make it special for me. Place deserves all the 5 stars ive given and more

Leah United Kingdom

The warm welcome from Annette and the decor throughout was amazing, our room was spotlessly clean, and more or less on the beach front. Our Room (the Kings room) had a sea view

Darren United Kingdom

i'm afraid we did not have breakfast,the location was good

Ann United Kingdom

The entire stay was amazing. It is close to the shops and we found a lovely restaurant on the next street. The house was beautiful, there was a complimentary bottle of wine in the sitting room which oozed homeliness......

Robert United Kingdom

From the moment we walked in we were greeted and made to feel so welcome. The added extras like the complimentary wine and cakes were an additional luxury. The room was beautiful and extremely clean and Annette is a super hostess. Would definitely recommend and will be returning!

Michele United Kingdom

Friendly welcoming staff spotless bedrooms lovely place to stay

Phillip United Kingdom

The location was fab & the rooms were out of this world. We stayed in the Angel room...fab decor x

Nicola United Kingdom

Amazing experience, beautiful room, lovely lady running it ,would definitely stay again

Michelle United Kingdom

Absolutely lovely place. Gorgeous room. Unique and spotlessly clean and comfortable. A wonderful welcome from Annette. Fab!!

Linda United Kingdom

The owner was very polite and friendly and gave us a warm welcome upon arrival. There was complimentary wine available in the living room which was a nice touch. The owner has clearly taken lots of measures to comply with current COVID requirements such as ensuring lots of hand sanitizer around. Unfortunately we couldn’t eat at the property because of COVID so unable to comment on quality of food etc. The property itself was clean Location wise, it’s a stone’s throw from Esplanade so great for exploring the town centre and beach
