"Great location for the shops on Main Street and the coastal headland trail. The Inn was friendly and quiet. Whilst we appreciate it was in keeping with the Victorian setting it could do with some updating. Check-in was simple and we were looked after by a lovely lady on reception who gave helpful advice on local travel. The spa was closed but we were provided with a very nice half bottle of wine on arrival."
