A bit old and dated.

Lots of little things not working such as shower too hot, plugs not working. Dated rooms. Requested bay window but didn't get, no table and chairs as shown in photos and sounded like a nightclub at 3am with the amount of noise. On the positive side quiet clean, a good price and great position.

The owner of the guest house and the receptionist were very friendly and welcoming and generally the stay would have been ok except the bed was very uncomfortable. The mattress was hard and lumpy, meaning we had a very poor nights sleep for the 2 nights we stayed. The guest house is though conveniently located on the sea front and it was very clean but a bit out dated. If you stayed in any room but room 2 your stay may be ok.

I never write reviews but my little girl and I were upset by the dirty and tatty conditions of this guest house. Won’t be returning, we had to dodge the mould in the shower, the carpet was threadbare and the windows were so dirty we couldn’t see the beautiful sunset. Beds were awful too

Comfy and worth it

We stayed there for a day and the room was small but comfy in all sort of means. Seaside view was awesome and everything was in reachable distance.
