Worth a try
Quaint English Inn on the English Channel. Excellent restaurant and bar. Friendly people. Rooms were sparse but comfortable. Our son’s family stayed in rm next door and they has already made up the roll in beds. The surrounding area is interesting but no retail.

Great stay
The staff were fantastic and the location is brilliant. There was some good breakfast options. The room was big and had been nicely made up for our family of four with a camp bed and a sofa bed.
