No frills comfort in this value-for-money guest house. Very clean room and bathroom, and prompt and efficient response from owners when we needed anything. Can't really fault it at the price. Tea service a nice touch. Excellent location right on the seafront. A good night's sleep. Recommended

It needs to be pointed out to potential visitors that there is no lift within the building so disabled people and those with heavy luggage will have difficulty accessing the rooms above the ground floor.

My husband and I had a lovely bright and airy room with the best sea view. Understand we were the last guests as the owners are retiring. Bon Ami will continue as a B&B under new management. Hopefully they will be as good as Julie & Barry.

I loved this place. The room was excellent, I was upgraded to a large room. The hosts are lovely people, great to have a hat with. Breakfast was delicious and you could order what you wanted. People with allergies were taken into account. A small thing but the bed linen was so comfortable. I will stay here again.

Loved the 1st floor bay window … lots of light and solar gain. Perfectly positioned sofa in front of the window.
En-suite bathroom was a good bonus. The main strip and beach are a stones through away.
Only downside was the mattress…. Which dipped at the sides and was uncomfortable.

Nice room with sea view, up 2 flights of stairs.
Ensuite was very, very small but OK for 2 nights.
Take your own hairdryer.
There was use of a lounge.
Felt it was a bit odd not to see either of the owners while we were there.

We had the deluxe sea view (room 2). It was very nice and spacious with a large bay window and a settee to look out to sea. It was a reasonable price and much better than some other more expensive hotel rooms. Yes..it was room only rate but you had breakfast places across the road and 100 yards down the sea front at the pier plus shops in the small town just a few mins walking distance. Free Parking on the road outside might be a problem but we found a space always just outside or a few yards from the property. The only down side was a very small on suite bathroom but it was no major problem. Very clean and well maintained property that i would gladly recommend!
