polite staff sea view tasty food overheated room random tv dog noise

the staff were polite and helpful. our room was large and clean. we had a lovely view of the sea (i could see it from my window!). breakfast had tasty food. i got a window seat too.

the room was too hot at times (even with the window open). the television changed channels randomly. i thought there were too many dogs allowed (i heard some yapping in the lounge).

mixed experience, scaffolding and breakfast issues

non-adjustable radiator disappointing breakfast

the receptionist was lovely during check-in and check-out. she gave me water for my onward journey, a nice touch.

My assigned room had scaffolding outside. This was not disclosed beforehand. i discovered the room was ridiculously overheated because of a non-adjustable towel radiator. the cooked breakfast was disappointing (the tomatoes were hard!).
