excellent seaside stay

double roomcoffee facilitiestoilet issue
i found the double room sea view very well appointed and quiet. the snowy white towels were lovely, and the two sinks were a real bonus! there were tea and coffee facilities in the room, and extra supplies were conveniently located by the front door should i need them.
I encountered a small issue with the toilet. It took a considerable time to refill and struggled to flush even small amounts of toilet paper. the cleaner should have spotted this issue before my arrival.

the room included a very comfortable bed both nights, allowing a fab sleep. the owners were very cute as soon as i arrived. my room was at the top of the house so there were quite a few stairs to climb.
The toilet took ages to fill up. It wouldn't flush even a small amount of toilet roll. i had to use the bin. This wasn't hygenic. i believe this should have been spotted by the cleaner.

slow toilet refillhygiene lack
The toilet situation was ridiculous. It refilled slower than molasses in January. it could not flush even a small amount of toilet paper, so I had to use the wastebasket. I would think the cleaning person should have noticed that problem. The lack of hygiene was appalling.
