fantastic experience by the sea

warm welcome seafront location cooked breakfast room touch
i was welcomed warmly by tony i appreciated that he seemed genuinely happy to see me. the location is superb being right on the seafront i could easily walk to shops and restaurants. breakfast was cooked exactly as i requested with attentiveness and care. the room included binoculars i found that a very nice touch for enjoying the sea view.
the bathroom felt a little cramped it could benefit from a more modern finish.

some issues during check-in and breakfast problems

slow check-in cold breakfast
the check-in process felt really slow. it took ages to note down everyone's breakfast orders. a simple form would have been so much easier. also, breakfast times were difficult to arrange, so we ate at different times. the breakfast itself was cold!!!
