The dining hall also sells sweet buns. Meals accommodating food allergies can be arranged, though what can be accommodated should be confirmed with the inn.
Family-Friendly Notes
Because meals accommodating food allergies can be arranged, it is an easy place to talk things over if you are traveling with a child who has allergies, though what can be accommodated should be confirmed with the inn. On the other hand, the sea begins right in front of the building, so you will need to keep a close eye on young children. The shower and toilet are shared. The only in-house facilities listed are that pets may stay and that a computer is available to use; a playroom, communal bath and private-hire bath are not listed, so please confirm with the inn.
