I have trouble with stairs so groundfloor was ideal. Booked at short notice in the closed season and everything was great. Really liked the message on a morning if you needed the housekeeper to come in later. Great idea.

I had a most enjoyable stay at Bay Lodge. The owner was most welcoming. Very comfy bed, lovely white crisp bedding & luxury white fluffy towels. Nice little unexpected treat in the fridge (chocolates) Great location for nearby beach or surrounding areas (via the train) Good cafe, shop & chip shop close by.
