a decent stay overall

beautiful room coffee treat great tv faulty rail hot weather burnt skin

the room was beautiful and well finished. tea and coffee were supplied, with a complimentary sweet treat. the tv was a great size!

the towel rail was faulty, and i could not turn it off. i burned myself on it, and it acted as a radiator through the night. this was not ideal during hot weather.

convenient stay

convenient location ample parking flexible check-in thoughtful touch

I found the location very convenient to the town centre and the beach. Parking was straightforward. There was ample free on-street parking available. The self-check-in process allowed flexibility, a feature i appreciated. The room had a thermostat for individual climate control, a thoughtful touch.

The shower head needed some attention. It looked to have some buildup that required cleaning before use.
