I found the location perfect, right across from the beach. Cafes and restaurants are nearby. The parking permit was a HUGE help. I enjoyed the bottled water provided and appreciated the use of beach towels.

Superior Guest House Experience

excellent choiceparking permitperfect breakfastfriendly host
The location suited my needs perfectly. I found an excellent choice of restaurants nearby. The Royal Hotel was just down the road. It hosted the event I attended. A parking permit was provided, and the car park was a short walk away. Breakfast was cooked to perfection. The host could not do enough for me, i will return!
The bed was small for a double. The room service policy was environmentally responsible. I am not a fan of that..

The hotel is located on the sea front, with views from the breakfast room. The train station is accessible for arrivals. I was allowed early check-in after my arrival by train. That helped a lot. This house boasts an interesting history, as told by my host.
