Friendly welcome from the staff and lovely communal lounge and reception areas. The B&B is in a great location, about 3 minutes walk from the beach, or 5 minutes into town or to the theatres. The available parking is also a huge bonus. The breakfast had a very good selection and was of high quality. Overall, a lovely B&B and we hope to return sometime.
