a tender seaside escape
clean room helpful staff
the staff were lovely, especially the woman who checked me in, she also served me in the restaurant. my meal was great and i especially loved the excellent breakfast the next day. i found the rooms were clean and very comfortable.
the bathroom was unexpectedly small, it seemed somewhat cramped. i did bring this to their attention upon arrival, but unfortunately, they could not offer an alternative at the time. i hope they can address this in the future.

mixed feelings about the stay
small bathroom stained linen
the location of the hotel was acceptable , especially for exploring the nearby areas.
i was quite disappointed with several aspects of the room. the bathroom was small , it felt more like a cramped cupboard than a functional space. additionally , the lack of thorough cleaning was noticeable , there were questionable stains on the bed linen , made me uneasy.

Excellent location WITH GREAT breakfast
clean room new decor clean bedsheets helpful staff
The hotel was quite clean. It was cleaned regularly and smelled fresh. We had fried breakfast that seemed of high standard. This included fruit juice and coffee. It would have been nice to have some fresh fruit to choose from though. I stayed in a room with a window that had been newly refurbished. The shower area was white with no marks. New carpet and decor were present, and bedsheets seemed clean, new, and the mattress clean also. A tv. tea and coffee facilities, were also present. I asked for more coffee and milk daily. The staff didn't mind doing so. They were polite and helpful. I also saw no ironing equipment or anything in the room to say to ask at reception. The hotel was nice, peaceful, and quiet at night also.
