Between the sea and the town, Vanessa and Simon Clark’s B&B is a cheery spot filled with lively colours, imaginative design touches, and a friendly, personable feel. High-ceilinged bedrooms in the Victorian town house are each different, though all share a cool, ‘boutiquey’ feel and well-considered amenities: robes, large towels, high-end toiletries, a powerful shower. Ask for a room with sweeping views over the harbour and estuary – it’s a fine sight to wake to. At breakfast, freshly squeezed orange juice and freshly pressed apple juice accompany the full English breakfast or look out for the daily special that ranges from: an American pancake stack; wilted spinach and garlic mushrooms on organic bread; home-made rösti with a poached egg, dry-cured streaky bacon and seaweed. A breakfast basket delivered to the room door at no extra charge may be pre-ordered by guests keen on a lie-in.”
