lovely seafront stay
large bottle ground floor local product
The water bottles in my room were quite large. the staff considered mobility needs and gave me a ground floor room. breakfast included local farm products. a lot of choices. the toiletries provided included flannels and towels. I found this very convenient.
The hairdryer in the room was quite old. This was a small inconvenience.
Location
10/10
the seafront is only half a minute walk. the hotel is near the beach. walking to the town is easy from this location, ideal.
Rooms
9/10
the double room included extra touches, such as a chocolate on the pillow. there was a bath and separate shower in the bathroom. toiletries were available, along with a shower cap.

small bed creaky floorboards
I found the bed far too small for a 'superior double room'. its size felt more like a single, an unwelcome surprise. furthermore, the floorboards creaked excessively. Every movement was amplified, its disturbance affected sleep. the cleaning missed a spot, i discovered moths in the closet, which i found unsettling.
