Ruth & Peter started a major refurbishment in 2017 and have created eleven stunning, individually styled boutique rooms and one amazing sea-view suite. Rooms are across 3 floors, may all vary in size but you can be sure that all are exceptionally clean and designed with your perfect stay in mind.

Deluxe rooms all have LED TV’s, high pressure rainfall showers, heated mist-free mirrors, powerful hairdryers, a well stock tea tray including fresh milk, goose down bedding, and super comfortable beds.
