The Shore House Hotel is on the West Cliff, next door to The Shore Retreat Hotel. The two are run the same way, with the same location, parking and check-in; the Retreat is the newly renovated, more upscale of the pair. The Shore House Hotel is where the gym and the games room are, free for every Flexiestays guest, so people staying at our other hotels walk here to use them.
