I would recommend staying at Horton
Our family, consisting of young adults and their mother had a great time at Horton. Laura and her family are very welcoming and create a nice, relaxed atmosphere. .The decor is old fashioned but is made up for with the fantastic location. The beach and coast path are at the bottom of the garden. You can see the sea from the nice balcony. If you like surfing and walking this is a great place.
