Firstly I’d like to say the woman who was the manager-cook and I assume bottle-washer was very helpful and nice. However I cannot write anything else glowing. Firstly as it doesn’t do evening dinners, only breakfast, it’s not a hotel - it’s a B&B. We were given the family room - filthy. They should remove the old cobwebs (the dust layers on them was a giveaway as to how long they’d been there), the carpets were disgusting, I made my children keep slippers on, the curtains need fixing (and changing), you need to clean under a bed as when we arrived there was an old sock under one of the children’s beds! Clearly a vacuum doesn’t see the corners of the room and a basic floor sweep is done only. The photo is the view as you walk out of the room. They had a personal party that Saturday, we had to go out and tell people to move on As they kept our young children awake (the bedroom door is one of the cheap MDF temp doors) their guest were sat right outside larking about. It’s extremely tired and needs a lot of money spent on it. It could make good money if rooms were gutted, redecorated and refurnished and kept clean! However I’d never set foot there again.

Lovely quiet place great for relaxation, lovely grounds, clean and tidy rooms, some interesting old artifacts from the building milling past. It also well positioned, giving access to several picturesque seaside towns and local attractions.
