A nice warm welcome from Rebecca, who has thought of everything! She was also very accommodating as we’d just had a family bereavement and showed flexibility which we appreciated. Large room on the second floor, lovely, very comfortable bed with very nice bedsheets etc. Modern bathroom. Nice fluffy towels and a face cloth, which so many places don’t have unfortunately. Hand lotions etc etc are of a good quality. Nice hospitality tray including biscuits and teas. This is a very large, old, semi-detached property, with fantastic high ceilings, furnished with older style furniture etc. There’s a very large lounge. Certain aspects mirror the age of the property such as the decor and wiring and so on but overall this is a large traditional building of a certain age. Breakfast is excellent. Plenty of choice, with good ingredients. You won’t go hungry!! Dietary requirements are well catered for. The scrambled eggs with smoked salmon was very good (however the food comes very quickly, infact I was still eating my cereal when my cooked breakfast arrived, same with another table the previous day, so this is something to learn from - a gap in serving food is definitely required, especially when you’re on holiday and not in a rush!) The establishment is well located for South Cliff and the lovely gardens. Car parking tokens for on-street car parking are provided. We went to Lookout on the Pier - recommended for very informal dining of great seafood (limited menu), and we also went to Tuscany Too, two minutes walk from the B&B, which was “ok”. Representing reasonable value for money, we would recommend staying at this B&B for a few days next to the sea.
