Fabulous property with amazing hosts offering a top quality relaxing stay.
Pros:

This is a fabulous property with Jo and Andy being terrific hosts. We had a room with a balcony which was amazing, great size, beautifully appointed and spotless with a comfy bed, lovely shower and a fridge. The breakfast is fantastic, everything is freshly cooked using homemade and local produce, with any dietary needs being no problem. Parking the car at the property and Andy's local knowledge is a real bonus. We have booked again and can't wait to go back. Fabulous all round, thank you.

Cons:

Nothing, everything was spot on.

Brilliant stay!
Pros:

We had a brilliant stay with Andy and Jo - the breakfast was great and Andy was really helpful and knowledgeable about the island. Our room was very spacious and exceptionally clean. Walk out the front door and you are on the beach so this was perfect for us. Parking too which was a bonus. We really enjoyed ourselves and will definitely return.

Best B&B we have ever experienced!
Pros:

Perfect! - super clean, well maintained and run by outstanding hosts. The room was large, well maintained with a super sea view. Breakfast was delicious with daily specials and additional croissants to take away and see you through the day. Close to both good restaurants and take aways for an evening meal. We thoroughly recommend The Seashore Inn.

Cons:

Both Andrew and Jo make your stay memorable and do everything possible to make your stay comfortable, helping with luggage and keeping the room in tip top condition through your stay.
