An Okay Stay

convenient accessbreakfast menusea viewloud floorboardsflashing alarmdifficult parking
The location worked well. It offered convenient access to nearby shops. I also liked the breakfast. The menu included a variety of options. The room was quite clean. It had a magnificent sea view.
The floorboards in the room above were very loud. Someone walked around. I couldn't get to sleep. A smoke alarm flashed bright green every 15 seconds. It was right above my head. The parking situation was difficult. I had to park in a car park that was a few minutes away.

comfortable bedconvenient location
I found the location convenient, near the train station and restaurants. i also had easy access to the South West Coast Path. The managers were very friendly. They even packed me fruit and snacks with water for my early train. The bed was comfortable, and the bathroom was well-equipped.
i noticed some noise from squeaky floorboards above my room.
