New rooms refurbishment completed June 2022. We are able to offer: 1 single, 1 twin, and 4 double rooms. All rooms are en-suite, we have 3 double rooms and one single room on the sea front with sea and beach view, the twin room and one double room are down the side of the building and both have bay windows with a table and chairs where you can see the sea from. Please specify if you would like a sea front room. The re-fit has been completed to a very high standard and we are sure you will have a comfortable stay with us. Unfortunately we have no car park. However, a public car park is virtually adjacent. Our internal staircase is quite steep and due to the age of the building we are not able to alter this; however we do have an external staircase with easy access to all the rooms which you can use at any time. Check in is 3 pm, if you arrive earlier you are welcome to leave your bags with us if your room is not ready. Check out is 11am. Breakfast is served between 9am and 10am in the main bar area.
