Debbie and Jason were really nice and welcoming, we were treated to a pot of tea and homemade cakes as soon as we arrived.
They made us feel at home, were really knowledgeable about the area and gave excellent suggestions for activities.
The breakfasts were amazing a wide variety to choose from, all beautifully cooked with excellent service. Debbie made sure we were well fed.
The room was lovely and cosy, bed was very comfortable. The selection of teas was amazing and they were very nice, plus we had cake in our room too.
It's located in a very good spot, only a short walk to the North bay and if you don't mind a slightly longer walk it's not far to the south bay either.
All in all an excellent b&b and Debbie and Jason are fabulous, we will be staying again.

Could not fault this marvellous place, starting with a very warm Yorkshire welcome with a cuppa, the well appointed room that was spotlessly clean and the bed was just so very comfortable (we were in room 5).
Plenty of choice for breakfast, pre-ordered and hence served fresh and hot, lashings of tea/coffee and as much toast as we could eat!
Overall I heartily commend Debbie & Jason for this establishment and have no hesitation in recommending it to others.

Food generally and breakfast was excellent very good quality and lots of it.
Very clean and well maintained property
Hosts were very friendly and helpful
Not many places to put own belongings in the bathroom.
We did find the traffic quite noisy at the front of the property, but that may well be because we are not used to it but the location did give good access to beach and town.
