Acceptable Stay with Notable Drawbacks

breakfast optionsdoor banginglack of staff

The breakfast was acceptable and included several options.

The room was quite noisy. I heard constant door banging until midnight. This noise resumed in the early morning. I also found the lack of on-site staff concerning.

Balanced stay experience

excellent locationfriendly staffgood teabacon smellno air flowbird mess

The location is excellent, only a short walk to the beach. Staff members were very friendly and also helpful. The room had a good tea and coffee station with biscuits.

The bacon smell in the morning was really strong, permeating clothes. I was told the exhaustion system was not working. Hopefully, this will be fixed soon. There was no air flow, and the window did not open fully. Bird mess and feathers were visible outside the window.
