I loved my stay at The Beetroot. Michael was really helpful, and lovely to meet; he also gave me an early check-in which was great. Sam who was doing work around the car park was also really nice and really helpful. The room itself was perfect - comfortable bed, great selection of teas and I loved the decor of the bathroom. The location was perfect, too - so close walking distance to everything: restaurants, cafes, the beach, and all the tourist attractions. I only wish I could have stayed...

a nice place to stay - full of character and close to main attractions.
We had the attic room -ok for us but not suited to tall guests or those where a tight, steep and winding staircase would be difficult. Very good
breakfast delivered to the door .
We would also recommend The Corner House restaurant.

Wonderful stay in a quirky questhouse. Our luggage was picked iup at the train station in their luggage bike (by the owner!)and delivered to our room so we could enjoy fish and chips on the beach at the Kiosk (very nice) and visit the Turner Art Centre before check in. Easy short walk after our stay with luggage to the station.
We were not in a sea facing room but enjoyed breakfasts in the beautiful Pearly Cow restaurant and visited the top floor bar.
The room was very large and stunningly...

Absolutely stunning place to stay - the rooms are gorgeous as is the inn, pub and restaurant. Staff are warm and welcoming, and the area is divinely quiet. Highly recommended, one of my favourite stays in a long long time.

Great place to stay. Well located in town & lovely staff. Food is also very good. There is no air conditioning in rooms which would be hot in summer, however they do have fans. Love this property.
