“From its prominent position overlooking the promenade, the house itself presents a straightforward yet welcoming ambiance, with its rooms proving comfortable and clean, particularly notable are the plush towels and well-appointed en-suite facilities. The attached pub, Markie Dans, is a genuine draw, offering good food and a lively atmosphere, complemented by the convenience of adjacent council-owned car parking and dedicated motorcycle spots. It's a place that understands the value of a good night's sleep and a friendly welcome, all at a price point that makes it an accessible choice.”
