I found many pubs with outdoor seating just a short walk away. The harbour offered ample opportunities to sit and soak in the views! it had lots of places nearby for different tastes.

I found it a quiet area yet easily walkable to the town center and facilities. The harbour was just minutes away! the seafront, with all its offerings, felt a short stroll away.

inadequate seaside VIEW

noisy fan small television
the view from the room WAS disappointing. I expected a clear sea view, but it was only visible from the front DOOR. the bathroom fan was NOISY, which became irritating. The television was also quite small, and i struggled to set it up.
