My partner and I had such a lovely stay here. The room was so lovely and modern and such great value for money. The staff were super easy to deal with and warm and welcoming, and the main strip and seaside are a very short walk away. Highly recommend!

The rooms were warm and impeccably clean. We had a long drive down from Bristol airport and when we arrived, it was around 5:30 pm; that didn’t stop it from being nice and quiet though, and it was quiet during the entirety of our stay. We received a warm welcome from David (and Pumpkin!) and a welcome card from Pumpkin with various bits to nibble on - this was next to a variety of tea, coffee, sugar cubes, and different milks. While we were out they replenished the tea and coffee, replacing the used mugs with clean ones. Everything was neat and organised. There were ample power sockets in the room, and there was a little box of “things guests often forget”including toothpaste, band aids, etc., and the kitchen had everything needed for meals. Lastly, a quote (verbatim) from my wife: “they had the comfiest pillows we’ve ever slept on and when I’m on my death bed I want those pillows to be the last thing I feel - David, please tell me where you bought them from.”

Fantastic light filled studio, spacious and comfortable for our group of 6. Lovely owners, who clearly put a lot of thought into making the studio a great place to stay. A short work to the town centre which we enjoyed visiting. Highly recommend.
