The pink vacation cottage was perfection - just loved the location, the bath products, and all the little touches like milk in the fridge and easy peasy recycling. Charming, walkable little town. Would come back in a heartbeat!

Lovely hotel in brilliant position. Very friendly staff, beautiful comfy room with huge freestanding bath and shower. Easy free parking nearby. Vegan options for breakfast and evening meal and good choice of drinks. Mix of shops and coffee shops very close and beautiful setting looking out to the water. Very much enjoyed our stay. We drove to nearby national trust property and to other coastal areas for walks.
