Excellent Seaside Stay
comfortable bedquality linenpatio area
My room was on the ground floor and it included a patio area. This overlooked the sea. It was good even on a rainy day! The bed was very comfy, and linen was of good quality. I also appreciated the little pots of quality jam and marmalade.
The early check out time felt a bit rushed. especially after having breakfast.

faulty heatinglimited juices
The room seemed smaller than I expected. The heating did not work properly when I took a shower, so the bathroom felt cold. I thought the breakfast options lacked variety. More juice choices would helped. They asked me to leave by 10 AM and I felt rushed especially since I ate breakfast at 8.
