Arrival was swift and easy, then shown to room in building next door, which wasn't a problem. Room 17 pretty small, small bathroom and sink in the bedroom. All looked clean and tidy apart from the seat at the desk and the information booklet which both need attention.

Scott & Liz are fantastic hosts, going above and beyond for their guests.
The hotel is conveniently located for all amenities. It’s beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean.
Breakfast was awesome.

Staff very helpful and friendly, free on street parking, loads of places to eat in the area (Ocean Road), handy for the seafront. The hotel itself was top notch and the breakfast room/coffee shop were lovely. Will definitely be back.
