Had to wait a while to gain access, but apologies given. Not much space for clothes as small room,needs a better bedside lamp (for reading) But can't complain due to the very reasonable price . Breakfast outstanding!

Cara guesthouse
A cosy guesthouse on the seafront. We were allocated a room upstairs, unfortunately not a sea view, hopefully next time. We had our own bathroom close to the bedroom. We parked in the council carpark close by, popped out at 9am to pay for the day, £3. Marea and staff were friendly and hospitable. We enjoyed our stay.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property was very dirty. Breakfast was not cooked to our liking - just had breakfast once then went out the other days. Couldn’t have tea or coffee in the room because the teapot had standing water in it when we arrived and the pot was stained and needed cleaning. Will not return nor recommend this place to others.

Northern soul ❤️
Single room for my dad. Perfectly adequate for his needs. Owner and staff were so lovely and helpful. Couldn’t fault them. Excellent breakfast choices all cooked to order. Room was comfortable and clean - just a cobweb up high on the ceiling and a bit of dust on the upper window shutters. The decor in a few places is showing wear, but overall, this is excellent value for money and a delightful seafront B&B. Will certainly be staying again. 👍

Last minute booking
Booked last minute and Julia was there to greet me on arrival. I had my dog with me and she was also made most welcome! There was a doggy welcome bag in the room which was a beautiful touch! Really homely atmosphere and lovely breakfast! Will most definitely stay again!

Well worth Booking.....honestly
The Cara, is without a doubt the best place I have stayed in the past few years, I arrived after the check-in time, and was greeted in a very , very friendly way, the owners son carried my bag from my car, got me checked in, asked after my welfare,room was spotless and extremly comfortable, a very quiet house too, in morning the breakfast was fantastic, ideal morning atmosphere, I will have no hesitation staying here again.....James

The fabulous Cara Guest house - home from home
We received a lovely warm welcome from Mariea. After arriving earlier than planned we were able to drop our cases off, Mariea explaining that our cases would be taken to our room. We even got an upgraded room due to someone cancelling. The room was lovely, clean and spaceous with a fabulous sea view. Tea / coffee facilities. TV. Hairdryer. It was like home from home. Mariea ensured our stay was one to remember. Nothing was too much trouble. The full English breakfast was excellent and set us up for our day of walking. We will definitely book The Cara Guest House again and would recommend to family and friends.

Good value
The room was really nice it was one off the on suite rooms at the top of the House. Comfortable beds. Clean, shower room good shower hot . Heating was off when we arrived but the room had 2 free standing heaters which did the job . View from room lovely. Breakfast very nice. Staff friendly. Parking although we were told we could park in the next road there were no spaces but just 50 yards away there is a large car park with free overnight parking . Good price for a very nice B&B
