SUNFOLD HOTEL
Victorian seafront B&B, breakfast included
About this hotel
Sunfold Hotel occupies a genuine Victorian-era townhouse on the seafront side of town, keeping its B&B roots with simple rooms, a cooked breakfast included in the rate, and a bar for a quiet evening drink once the children are settled. The beach sits an eight-minute walk away, close enough for a realistic morning or afternoon session without a long trek, and the kid-friendly, smoke-free rooms suit a straightforward family stay. A nearby restaurant covers dinner if the on-site offerings are not enough for a longer visit. This is a smaller, more personal property than the town's chain hotels, and it earns notably high guest ratings for exactly that reason — a period building with breakfast sorted and the sand within easy reach.
- Period townhouse
- Breakfast included
- Near beach
- Bar on site
Our take
This suits a family who wants a genuine B&B feel with breakfast included and does not need a full restaurant or extensive amenities to be happy. It will not suit anyone wanting a large chain hotel's consistency and scale. For period character, breakfast and a short walk to the beach, it is a strong, well-rated pick.
- ✓Take the cooked breakfast every morning here, since it is included and sets you up for a full beach day.
- ✓Book early, since this smaller Victorian townhouse has fewer rooms than the larger chain hotels nearby.
- ✓Walk the eight minutes to the beach in the morning before the tide and the crowds both shift.
Why we love it

Why guests love itSunfold Hotel felt like staying somewhere with actual history rather than a standard chain room, and the cooked breakfast each morning made the eight-minute walk to the beach an easy routine. It is a small, personal sort of place rather than a big hotel, which meant fewer amenities overall, but the character and the included breakfast made up for that. We would book it again for the same reason we chose it: proper Victorian charm within walking distance of the sand.
