lovely stay at seaside inn

clean roomample parkinghard mattress
the room i stayed in was beautifully clean. the pub and restaurant felt wonderfully separate, a design detail i appreciated. lots of shops surround the inn, giving convenience and a vibrant feel. parking was ample and a total blessing for someone driving.
the mattress was a little HARD for my liking. it did give me a bit of a backache each morning. it faded away later in the day, but that initial discomfort was something.

a fair experience

great locationnice foodeasy processhigh pillowfixed shower head
the location was amazing for exploring nearby coastal towns! it was only a quick 10-minute drive. the food in the restaurant was pretty nice too! also, the check-in and check-out process was super easy and smooth.
i did find that the spare pillows were a bit too high up, annoying. the shower was just a fixed head, i couldn't use it as a handheld!
