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. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Janet 31 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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. 👍 ##### Janet Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2022 Verified ### 2/10 Terrible #### Alan 19 Sept 2022 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. ##### Alan Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2022 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 1 Apr 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Mar 2022 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### karen 8 Sept 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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. ##### karen Stayed 1 night in Aug 2021 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Lyn 4 Sept 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Room comfort #### Sea view ?

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 ##### Gilli Stayed 1 night in Jan 2020 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christina 14 Jan 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Comfy and Cozy Stay What a cute and homely-feeling place to come relax and turn your mind off. Can't complain about the fulfilling breakfast either! ##### Christina Stayed 1 night in Jan 2020 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 5 Jan 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities The properties location is excellent, being on the sea front. Unfortunately my room was very shabby, there was exposed pipework, holes in the flooring and worn, chipped furnishings. On the positive side the bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was also very disappointing, there was little choice, the milk had gone off and my eggs were under cooked and raw in parts. In all not what I expected for its 3 star rating. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Dec 2019 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 5 Jan 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### New years eve stay Pleasant stay at the Cara over New year.
