delicious breakfast

cozy lounge

street noise

The breakfast was a real highlight, especially the perfectly cooked bacon and sausages, and my partner raved about the salmon and scrambled eggs while we enjoyed the lovely harbor view. After breakfast, we chilled out at the cozy lounge with some live music, which was a nice touch. The only downside was that we could hear some noise from the street, but it didn't ruin our stay at all. 😊

The lifeboat inn offers beautifully decorated, spacious rooms. My seaside double room was perfect and had a helpful tea coffee maker. The location is fantastic, right in the centre of town. I especially enjoyed the scrumptious hot breakfast!

kitchen needs more

The double room was really comfy. The bed felt great, perfect for a good night's sleep. The decor was nice and gave it a cozy vibe. Plus, the view over the harbour was fine! Had everything I needed, but could've used a few more spoons and forks in the kitchen. All in all, a cozy stay with lovely views.
