lovely stay with great amenities

sea viewhelpful staffopened bottle
the room offered a fine sea view and the shower was excellent. i appreciated the friendly and helpful staff at check-in and during breakfast service. the hotel's proximity to both the train station and the high street was very convenient for exploring.
i experienced an issue with the water bottle in my room as it had been opened and partially consumed, not ideal (definitely something to improve).
