"Typical seaside B&B.
Friendly and helpfull staff.
Our room was large with a large bed. Mattress was on the very soft side, perhaps needs a replacement in the near future.
Breakfast menue was good with lots of choices from full Cornish to kippers and the usual syrials, yogurts and fresh fruit.
For us, not the fittest, the hotel was a bit out of the main town but near a bus link for a bus to the main bus depot. The seafront was also not that far to walk down the hill."
