"The hotel also provides earplugs as the seagulls can get rather loud."
"Warm inviting lounge, although I didn't use the facility- I certainly would if I had more time."

average stay, issues needing attention
satisfactory locationsmall roompoor decoration finish
the location proved satisfactory for my needs.
i found the room noticeably small. the basin was situated inside the room, not within the bathroom (a peculiar arrangement). additionally, i observed the decoration finish was quite poor.

unfriendly chapextra parking
The chap at reception seemed quite unfriendly. I found no free parking. It cost me an extra £26. I had been promised a sea view but got a room with no view at all. Old milk sat on the window ledge plus the room smelled of rotten eggs whenever someone used the toilet

Charming Stay!
super clean roombeautiful furnishingsquality beddingcreaky floorboards
I found my room super clean and beautifully furnished. Complimentary toiletries was provided, just as in a good hotel. The bed was super comfy with good quality bedding, a welcome treat after a long day.
The creaky floorboards were noisy. I think they need some attention to reduce noise levels.
