This is a little jewel in a delightful little sea-side town. A small hotel in an attractive town house with a patio at the back (the stone garden of its name). The location is great, very much in the centre of town and at the...same time literally 1 minute's walk to the sea (I timed myself and I don't walk fast).

Above all the staff just seem to have the knack to make you feel at home. All of them are incredibly helpful and caring and, well, just very nice. A really good team, And then there is the great Lindsay, the "boss", who goes out of her way to meet all your needs.The first time I stayed there, in November 2017, I casually mentioned that I like softer pillows and the next thing I knew she had bought new pillows, just for me, and made sure they were on my bed when I went again in March of this year.
