A full English breakfast is freshly cooked and served every morning. A continental option, with items such as cereals and toasts, is also available. Host was very welcoming and and informative re parking. The location is amazing. We went for a concert at the West Cliff Theatre and its minutes from there and the beach front. The whole place is impeccably clean, very quiet and the breakfast was very yummy. No expense has been spared on the bed and bedding, which resulted in a very indulgent nights sleep.
