Cleveden House by The Dunvegan

10/10 Excellent

"It was really lovely, clean, easy to find and so close to the sea! Great to leave luggage for the day! Only things I noted were no mirror in the bedroom so tricky to get ready when the bathroomwas occupied, no hand towel, no kettle in the room, the lack of a cup of tea in the morning really wasn't good for me. I'm not a coffee drinker so if you are then you're winning! There were nice breakfast pan au chocolates and options for tea but I couldn't figure out the machine to just boil water. Plus, I really didn't want to go downstairs in my pyjamas for a brew all bleary eyed! Honestly though, we really liked it and would stay again."
