Good to know before you book

Parking needs a little planning

Nearby street parking is limited and unloading can be tricky on a busy road, so many guests used public car parks or a rented driveway.

Outside space is small and basic

The back area was described as small, paved or in need of tidying, so it is not a place for lounging or letting dogs roam.

Ground floor is more dated than upstairs

Some guests found the ground floor tired compared with the bedrooms, though it did not spoil their stay.

Tips from past guests

Handy things guests picked up during their stay.

  • Use the public parking bay around the corner or look for nearby disabled spaces if needed
  • Buy a week's pass for a public car park and leave the car behind
  • Consider renting a nearby driveway if you have a large vehicle
  • Plan extra dog walks, as the outside space is very small
  • Book the surf school camp for lively children
