friendly staff nearby spot mini fridge early bakery loud noise garden room
the staff were so friendly! they helped me find some great spots nearby. the location was perfect though the parking was expensive. the room also had a mini fridge that was super handy for keeping drinks cold.
The bakery next door started really early, around 5.30 am, so it was quite noisy. i was in the garden room. generator noise was very loud. Not able to get back off to sleep. the noise woke me up.

The location was convenient. It was easy to reach both the town and the beach by foot. Free parking was a significant plus. I also appreciated the ample space. It suited my family well.
The bathroom looked a bit old and could have been cleaner.

Functional Stay
easy check-in convenient parking provided crockery multiple showers
Check-in was straightforward, and parking on-site proved quite convenient. The provided crockery allowed us to bring our own food easily. Staff members remained amicable and helpful throughout our stay. Two showers within the bathroom was a plus for multiple guests.
The room showed some wear and tear, giving an impression of being slightly old.
Rooms

The family room included both a double bed and two single beds and also featured tea and coffee making facilities. Guests are provided with convenient amenities right in the room. This facilitates easy mornings and relaxing evenings.
Dining

A Tesco Express is located next door and a fish and chip shop is also situated nearby. The pub operates until 11 PM so guests should expect some noise until then. These options offered quick and easy meal solutions.
Service

Staff allowed access to the premises even after pub closing hours, helpful. The team was cute upon arrival. They promptly addressed questions and provided assistance as required by us.

The location was ideal. A short walk led directly to the sea front (i loved it!). Free parking was available. The suite accommodated our needs perfectly. It featured loads of hot water. It was indeed very comfy.
The pub lacked food service, requiring takeout from nearby establishments.
