A pleasant stay at Athelstane House

The room #2, was clean and spacious with a private balcony accessed from the room. The breakfast was excellent served by friendly staff with access to outside tables if you prefer rather than to staying inside the breakfast room. The only mild criticism was that the bed was too soft for us as we are used to a much firmer bed.

The property was a great location for easy access to the beach, very central to the town, The breakfast options and experience were great. Access and parking were easy to find and follow. The room and facilities were very comfortable with a great view from the balcony. Possible improve, the library books and range of magazines could be updated and fresh fruit, with the tea and coffee would be nice.
