A lovely stay in a characterful inn with the friendliest staff.
Pros:

Cute, well maintained Inn and pub, with exceptionally friendly and helpful staff and delicious food. There was a lot of attention to detail in the room. It was easy walking distance to the coast. The parking was also great, which appears to be a rare treat in these coastal villages.

Cons:

The price was a bit high for accommodation.

Nice location but not good room for the price
Pros:

The staff were nice and it was in a good location.

Cons:

For the price of the room, the outlook was not very pleasant. We overlooked a place where all the bins were stored which were used from early morning to the evening.
