All facilities you could need. Stairs are very steep, so might not be easy for some. Beds were a bit soft for us, but we still slept well. We would definitely return.

So close to everything. The kitchen is well equipped but we rented to eat out, there are so many lovely places on the doorstep. We never had any issues with parking, managed to park out side to drop everything off then we parked the car up at the back of the pub, its 2 minutes away if that. I was a bit wary about the stairs but to be honest they were fine just typical old staircase. Phil the owner always on hand to answer any queries . All in all a fantastic stay would recommend to anyone .

It is close to all amenities. The property owners are friendly and accomodating. This was my first stay at the Pebbles but will not be my last.
