"I enjoyed my stay. The caravan was clean and tidy and was in a nice position with a view. There was everything you could need for cooking, together with games, dvds, magazines etc. Good to have outdoor space to sit and eat. The site is hilly, maybe not suitable for those with mobility issues. The pool was a nice space. Short walk down (and uphill back) to the beach and cafes etc, great for paddle boarding as it's very sheltered. Great area with lot's of lovely places to visit. Abi was on...

The Collingdale Guest House

8/10 Good
"A traditional B&B in a Victorian terrace, with clean, spacious, comfortable rooms. There are a lot of stairs and it’s uphill from the town so not suitable if you have mobility difficulties. Breakfast had lots of choice, with good vegan options too. We recommend taking up the option of paying for their private parking as there was never any space on the street."

"This place is a hidden gem. The farm is quiet and peaceful despite being just off the main road. Our room was clean and large, with a double bed and single bed, plus as it was on the ground floor it had access onto a terrace and picnic bench. Only issue for us was a rather thin floor which meant we could hear every footstep from the room above, but not a huge issue and I doubt there’s much that could be done about it! Would definitely stay here again."
