Very welcoming, clean and comfortable. Plenty of choice at breakfast and an optional evening meal available. The full english breakfast was wonderful and freshly cooked. Bed was comfortable and the immediate area was quiet. Tina and Arthur know the area well and can recommend places worth visiting and suitable for all tastes. Will return.

The room was spacious, with a very comfortable bed, all the facilities worked really well, it was quiet with no road noise, convenient to the Riviera Centre where I was attending a three day conference. Breakfast good - I didn't want the full english but had a very good poached egg instead. Service... More
