Fantastic Seaside Stay!

excellent teacoffee facilitiesrainfall typeexcellent breakfast
The room had excellent tea and coffee facilities, and I even got plant-based milk. The shower was a rainfall type. I found it to be a pleasure to use. Breakfast stood out. It was excellent, why I highly recommend this place. The staff accommodated my dietary needs (whole food plant-based vegan).
My room got a bit hot, but thankfully, there was a fan in the wardrobe.
