beach locationdirty roomlarge cobweb
The location was right on the beach (I could hear the waves). The staff proved helpful.
The room I received was not clean. I found a significant amount of hair in the bed, and there was a large cobweb stretching from the light fixture to the corner of the room. I found these issues unacceptable for the price paid.

Relaxing Coastal Retreat

beach accesscomfortable bedvaried toiletriesfriendly staff
The location offered direct beach access via a staircase. My room provided a side coastal view, spaciousness stood out, and the bed offered great comfort. I also found many different toiletries plus a good tea and coffee selection. All the staff were very friendly. Their genuine attitude.
The corridor to the bedrooms was quite dark. It passed the kitchen and looked a little grubby. It wasn't very inviting.

The staff managed the breakfast options very well. I thought the eggs benedict were fab. The staff are always great. Nothing seemed too much to ask. The team helped.
