Host - Very sweet and lovely. Always on hand to help and advise. Lodge - Typical English B&B, lovely and perfect. Room - Big, spacious and perfect for couple or small family. Having a small kitchen is amazing. Area - 15 min walk to the seafront and town. Easy drive to surrounding sights. Breakfast - Freshly cooked breakfast, very tasty and more than enough. Had an excellent vegetarian option.
