The hotel was quaint, and run by a couple older ladies who were just delightful. A check in experience that was very cute! They always responded to messages on Booking.com, and were very accomodating. Even though there is no 'check in' desk, they were able to hold my luggage after check out for the day. Super accomodating! Check in is just ringing the doorbell, and the lovely lady greets you. Just putting that in here because I was unsure of the process until I went through it myself! 5 mins to Tescos and a few mins extra to town centre. 10 -15 min walk to pier.
