charmed by the traditional seaside charm

extra pillowsgood qualitycreaky floorboards
the room was a standard double room and it included extra pillows, i discovered (charmed!) there were more than enough supplies of soap and tissues. the bed linen felt new and of good quality. the car park at the rear was convenient at £6 per day, it made parking hassle-free.
i found that the floors creaked quite a bit. every time i walked across the room, the whole floor creaked, i think the floorboards in the room need some attention.
Location

the location is directly opposite the pier. this placement offered easy access to attractions. proximity to the sea meant the sounds of the waves were always near, this added an auditory element to the overall experience.
