spacious roomnice bed linenfriendly staffmouldy tilesextension cablelate check-in

i stayed in a beautiful double room sea view. the room was spacious with nice bed linen. breakfast was particularly good, a gastro pub style. i found the staff friendly and helpful.

Check-in was advertised as 2pm but it was actually 2.30pm. some mould was on the bathroom tiles. an extension cable ran along the bedroom floor. I didn't really find that acceptable.
