Could not be better. Great location. We had a room with sea view. Large comfortable room with kettle, tea and coffee. For the summer a must have, a small fridge. The proprietors could not do enough for us. Friendly and extremely helpful. Full English breakfast was excellent.
There was nothing to dislike.

Seafront location which was perfect. Easy parking outside the property. Room was spotless and had everything needed for a comfortable stay. The room had two large windows which overlooked the beach and sea. Wendy and Stuart were impeccable hosts and due to me having an early start to board the Tunnel train even got up early to make my breakfast !

We had a wonderful stay, the room was lovely and very comfortable with a fabulous view. The breakfast in the morning was excellent, plentiful with a wide choice. Stuart & Wendy were the perfect hosts, a real home from home, and we will certainly be back.

B&B situated and accessed around the back of Ship Inn. Road side parking permit provided for stays longer than 1 night. Comfortable top floor rooms & lovely sea view from lounge area. All expected amenities provided, however, need to be able to manage stairs to rooms. Very welcoming and hospitable hosts, nothing to much trouble. Would visit again
Parking roadside could be limited at busy times.

Breakfast was beautiful every morning. We thoroughly enjoyed a variety!
The room and hosts were just amazing. Will be back again ASAP.
WiFi was a bit choppy but honestly that’s if I’m nit picking and we were in the middle of a storm. Everything was truly wonderful.

The owners were very friendly and welcoming. The room was immaculately clean and charming and the mattress of great quality! The location is a real plus, with a direct view on the sea from the lounge area. It felt very cosy and warm overall. The breakfast was delicious even if a bit slow. It is currently being served in the pub next door but will be moving to the BnB soon.

The weather was awful but we had a great view of the sea. Breakfast was included and it was delicious. I had buttermilk pancakes and we got a pot of tea and a pot of coffee. The room was spacious and super quiet. The ensuite bathroom was roomy and spotless.
Checking in was not at all clear. We went to the pub and waited for someone to acknowledge us. Finally the owner of the accommodation was alerted and we were taken to the room.

The staff were really friendly and helpful, arranged an early breakfast for us to take as we had an early Eurotunnel. The view from the bedroom was fantastic, we loved the sunrise over the beach.
The pub had a great selection of real ales, a bonus.

Room was well equipped, very clean and comfortable.
Parking is restricted immediately outside the hotel, so it's necessary to use the public car park a couple of minutes walk away when wanting to park for more than 2 hours.

A very comfortable room overlooking the sea, was very atmospheric on a stormy night! Comfortable bed, fridge, delicious breakfast and a lovely, welcoming landlady. The pub out the front was also really nice for a few pints in the evening.
There was some refurbishment work ongoing which caused the power to my room’s sockets to fail in the morning. But the landlady made me a pot of coffee to take back to the room, which sorted me nicely.

The bed was exceptionally comfortable. The location was perfect, right on the beach. The breakfast was also exceptional and Wendy was the perfect host, attending to every little detail and the warmest welcome. The shower was also very good. The rooms were super clean and neat and, although a little small, were perfect for us.
