Very enjoyable, would return.
Pros:

Very clean accommodation, breakfast very very nice, staff very helpful . We had a lovely sea view room with tea and coffee making facilities.

Cons:

More storage for clothes, we stayed for 2 nights which was fine, any longer and it would have been a struggle.

It was July so yes we did expect to pay more but I think it was not value for money.
Pros:

Breakfast - good choice on cereals
Staff - friendly : nice touch to be poured coffee at our table on our last morning, shame this wasn’t a daily nice touch.

Cons:

We were put up in the sister hotel a few doors down. Still a great location but dead flies on the top of the bed as we walked in wasn’t the best start.
Cob webs in the room cleaner had missed.
Cooked breakfast. Scrambled egg needs less milk used in cooking. Bacon needed a little longer and the tomato was threatened by the grill. Sausages though - very very tasty!

Bedroom was quite small but very clean and comfortable. It was a last minute booking so probably all bigger rooms were gone. Food was excellent.

Cons:

I was surprised that our room wasn't cleaned everyday. Waste bin not emptied

Very pleasant
Pros:

Good choice

Cons:

Bath /shower no shower screen , bath small difficulty getting in and out . Also standing up in the bath was difficult as roof sloping . Could have done with taps at the other end and a shower screen needed.

Left a day early.
Pros:

Room was comfortable and well-equipped but we were in the annexe 3 doors down (which we didn't know until the booking was confirmed and we had paid the deposit) overlooking the owner's scruffy back garden complete with laundry on the line which remained for the whole of our stay. Couldn't move the car because of parking issues. Breakfast was OK and the staff were friendly. More of a B and B than a hotel.

Cons:

Parking. Owner's back garden.
