This was the 7th (I've lost count) time I've stayed with Paula, Adam and Bovril. It's less like staying at a hotel and more like stopping with friends now. The honesty bar probably sums up the atmosphere and whole experience better than a 1,000 words - but I'll have a go at the words anyway! You will be assured of the warmest of welcomes - but don't assume the attention is over bearing - it's friendly, helpful and designed to ensure you enjoy everthing about your stay. Adam supplied surf reports (it was a surt trip his time) with breakfast and suggestions for restaurants (that can be booked for you) for evening meals. Local attractions, day trips, etc are discussed over breakfast. More importantly Adam and Paula want to hear your feedback so they can share the good reports (and bad if they occur) with future guests. The rooms I (and we as a family) have used have always been luxurious and spacious. Breakfast is great with a selection of offerings - I suggest you try the eggs benedict! Always a shame to have to pack up and leave, but you can always look forward to the next visit.
