quirky charm and warm welcome

inviting lounge spacious bedroom short walk suitable choice
i found the dining room and lounge area inviting. the double bedroom i stayed in was spacious with good facilities. the location was quiet but still a short walk to the seafront. breakfast was a jewel in the crown, offering choices that suited my needs.
i noticed the cold water pressure in the shower was not very strong. it. a stronger water flow would be more refreshing.

stale smoke erratic shower
The free parking was really convenient. I found a spot easily.
The room smelled strongly of stale smoke, pretty off-putting. the shower temperature was erratic. It alternated between scalding hot and freezing cold, made showering rather unpleasant.
