fantastic atmosphere. Great hosts. Great locals Even has on site laundry Beds were fine
Felt welcomed into a private home
We had a lovely stay with Jan and Ian in their homestay for the night. The beds were comfortable, the rooms spacious. Jan and Ian were lovely hosts, we had a nice variety and quantity of breakfast for us in the morning, and they even contacted us to ask for arrangements for returning items that we left behind.
Staying in a homestay situation was great and we enjoyed meeting our host Graham and he was a great host who was very easy to get along with. The location was great, and just a quick walk to the beach. Breakfast was delicious and plenty of it. Loved meeting very friendly Mitch the cat.
Had no idea it was a room inside a private home
Lovely private home away from home
lovely home stay with lovely hosts in a wonderful character home,breakfast is provided but unfortunately due to time constraints I didn’t manage to eat any.
Step back in time in a good way. Basic accommodation but clean, and comfortable. No TV in room which is great. Read a book. You have the whole unit which has a separate bedroom, lounge/kitchen and bathroom. Great old pub with a great host, friendly locals and excellent food. Thanks Graeme.
