Our bathroom experience was quite subpar. Though clean, the bathroom felt cold. It was virtually unusable. The glazing seemed insufficient, and the blinds were blowing in the wind (i reported this when i arrived). A small space heater was given to us, however it wasn't safe to use in the shower.

seaside bliss

genuine kindnessgenerous breakfastlimited parking
the staff displayed genuine kindness. the beach access directly outside was convenient. i found the breakfast really good, quite generous too. tea, coffee, and water were available in my room, such a treat after a long day.
finding a parking spot was a little tricky, as it seemed quite limited both at the front and rear of the place. perhaps exploring alternative parking options would benefit future guests.
