A very relaxing break
Beautiful location - I could have sat at the little chairs in the window and looked at the sea and the castle forever. Lovely comfy bed and gorgeous cotton bedding. Very nice breakfast & lovely host. Parking very easy & free. A very relaxing break.

Highly recommended
Host very kind and friendly, room is clean and well stocked with tea, coffee, biscuits, hot chocolate, and a bottle of water in the minifridge. Great location with a sea view, you can open your window and listen to the sound of the sea. Bathroom is good but I would've appreciated somewhere to hang up our towels as there really wasn't much space for that.

Excellent stay, highly recommended
Fantastic stay, beautiful room with lovely sea view. We were dealt with exclusively by one lady throughout our stay who was very friendly and efficient. Breakfast was excellent. There is limited parking outside, enough for 5 cars I reckon but we got a space no problem. 10 min walk to Peasholm Park and similar to the old town and south bay in the other direction. Bed very comfortable, shower really good.
