sea view delight!

clean room spacious room central location free parking
The room was super clean and spacious. it had tea and coffee stuff. a decanter of whisky was a lovely extra (i may have sampled a bit!). location is super central, and free parking is available, only a short walk to the town center too. i totally recommend this place. I will definitely stay again.
i didn't receive as much help from the host as i expected, it took us awhile to find the main switch for the shower which was not in the bathroom.

The room was very clean and nicely decorated. Parking was a bonus I used. The outside decking area is spacious. The area is very quiet.
There were no glasses for the wine I brought. There was no crockery or cutlery either. The wardrobe offered little more than a couple of chipboard planks. There was no toilet roll holder in the bathroom.
