superb stay close to the sea

great location cute hosts dog friendly
I appreciated the location near the seafront. It was only a short walk. the hosts were very cute and cooked a really good breakfast daily. i liked that the place was dog friendly. there was free parking on site, great (no need to worry about extra fees).
the room lacked a shower mat, which posed a slip hazard.

excellent stay NEAR the sea

amazing breakfast fresh milk convenient location onsite parking
Nikki prepared amazing breakfasts each morning. Her poached eggs were perfect and the ingredients were clearly top-tier. i ESPECIALLY loved the fresh milk in the small bottles and the homemade biscuits. the guesthouse sits quite close to the promenade. The location was perfect for accessing both the beach and the shops. parking onsite provided additional convenience.
I noticed no shower mat inside the shower. This small detail slightly detracted from an otherwise superb experience. it's a minor point. addressing it would enhance safety.
