en suite bathroom convenient room bay window suitable size

room 14 was situated top of the building, i liked the view it had. an en suite bathroom added to the convenience. i found the room a suitable size for two people. the bay window seating was definitely a plus.

the lights weren't on when i was getting into the room for the first time, and i had some trouble with the stairs.

reasonable experience

convenient location basic facilities dark area small bathroom

the location was convenient, a short walk from both the train station and the beach. the room was clean, it also included basic facilities.

getting into the room was difficult initially, i found the stairs and area just outside the room were dark. the bathroom was small, the sink made using the toilet awkward.

amazing getaway by the sea

central location kind hosts

location amazed me, it's a stone's throw from both the train station and the glorious beach! rooms were immaculate, so cleaning standard is high. hosts were friendly, they provided great support for mini fridge access. i definitely will stay again, especially given that they have such kind hosts.

i had difficulty when i get in the room the first time because of light issues. stair lights were off so walking up was dark. it's important to ensure all lights are functional for easy access.

noisy bed flapping tarpaulins

The hotel thinks it is acceptable to not fix a noisy bed. Every time I moved, the noise woke me up. I did find tarpaulins on scaffolding. They kept flapping all night. The 'beautiful' room? Very, very basic, and it cost £145. What a steal!
