friendly staffnearby spotmini fridgeearly bakeryloud noisegarden 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.

mixed feelings about this place
good locationcigarette smellearly morning noise
The location was okay. It was within walking distance to the beach.
the room smelled heavily of cigarette smoke, this. i think someone must have lived there and smoked a lot before they decided to rent the room out. also, the noise from the pub late at night and the bakery early in the morning made it hard to sleep.

Functional Stay
easy check-inconvenient parkingprovided crockerymultiple 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
8/10
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
9/10
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.

Excellent Location and Spacious Rooms

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.
