Really good Stay

useful supplies kind hosts clean room convenient location

Supplies like milk and toilet rolls were conveniently placed outside the room, this proved quite useful. The hosts demonstrated really good kindness and helpfulness throughout my stay. The room itself impressed me greatly with its cleanliness and amenities. I appreciated the proximity to the seafront and various local attractions.

The breakfast hours were a little too restricted, the service only occurred for thirty minutes.

Location

9/10

The location is close to the rail station. It is also near the beach. Caffe Lotto sits conveniently around the corner and I appreciated the walk to enjoy the sights. This area has a relaxed atmosphere.

Dining

Breakfast offered bespoke options with orders taken the night before, this was a nice touch. I opted for a sausage sandwich, though a full English breakfast was available, it also looked quite good. The service was attentive.

Facilities

The room included a fridge which was big enough for drinks, this was a bonus. A large sink and drying rack proved useful and extra bonuses were available. Convenient plugs and lights enhanced the functionality of the room.

Smashing Find Near the Sea

useful fridge quiet road

I found a good location near the seafront. The room included a useful fridge. It did. The road outside seemed surprisingly quiet, and I liked that a lot.

My room did need some sprucing up. The carpet could use thorough cleaning. It did detract from my overall time.

A Good Stay!

bonus fridge excellent location short walk convenient access

This visit was my third time here. I enjoyed a lovely room including a fridge, useful during the summer heat. The location proves excellent, offering a very short walk into the town center plus convenient access to both railway and bus stations. I found the seafront just a half-minute walk away at the road's end.

The breakfast service was between 9:00 and 9:30 am. This timeframe did not allow for sleeping in.

Rooms

The room was SPOTLESSLY clean, with new carpets throughout. The decor looked quite modern. I found the thoughtful touches within this well-designed accommodation very nice.

The cooked breakfast was large. It kept me going for the day. The owner was very good. She helped me find some places to eat. The hotel is in a good spot for everything.

The bunk beds need replacing. Zip wires hold some wooden slats together.
