A full English breakfast includes fresh fruits, yogurts, cereals, and Angela's bacon and eggs, with options for vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free diets. Situated in the canal-side village of Hest Bank, the property is a 2-minute walk from bay walks and cycling routes, with secure storage for bikes.

Secure cycle storage and proximity to coastal cycling routes.

Full English breakfast with fresh, locally sourced ingredients, catering to dietary needs.

Family-friendly with ground-floor accommodations and travel cots available.

Dog-friendly, welcoming well-behaved pets for a small fee.

Cons

No on-site restaurant; dining options are limited to nearby takeaways and local establishments.

“The freshly prepared breakfast and comfortable rooms, some offering sea views, are a great way to start the day; plus, the floral courtyard offers a tranquil escape. I found the location ideal, with easy access to canal walks, a local pub, and the seafront. It's a charming base for exploring the area.”
