Felt welcomed into a private home
We had a lovely stay with Jan and Ian in their homestay for the night. The beds were comfortable, the rooms spacious. Jan and Ian were lovely hosts, we had a nice variety and quantity of breakfast for us in the morning, and they even contacted us to ask for arrangements for returning items that we left behind.
Staying in a homestay situation was great and we enjoyed meeting our host Graham and he was a great host who was very easy to get along with. The location was great, and just a quick walk to the beach. Breakfast was delicious and plenty of it. Loved meeting very friendly Mitch the cat.
Very special and wonderful atmosphere. Lovely host family. Felt like a slice of paradise with calm and beautiful surroundings.
Location was very close to the centre of town, yet also very quiet. Shared bathroom (for 2 bedrooms) on a floor above the host family, who were lovely hosts - offered their carpark if I found it too far to walk (post-knee-surgery) from the other (off-street) park available.
A lovely small complex with four private units extending from a private home with beautifully manicured lawns. Very peaceful and comfortable with all you want for a night's stop when travelling. Easy walk into town for dinner at the Amberley pub, good supermarket nearby to stock up and great Little Vintage cafe for an excellent breakfast among the locals.
Quiet location. Property was a private home and had lots of character
Step back in time in a good way. Basic accommodation but clean, and comfortable. No TV in room which is great. Read a book. You have the whole unit which has a separate bedroom, lounge/kitchen and bathroom. Great old pub with a great host, friendly locals and excellent food. Thanks Graeme.
Such a beautiful throwback to our days of B and B travel in England and Ireland. Perfect ambiance by the fireplace on the rainy afternoon we were there. A separate bedroom made it feel like a real little private home. Lovely views of the garden from the bedroom window. Ali was an exceptional hostess!
