charmed by the seaside stay

i was very happy the room provided all necessities including tea and coffee making facilities, a mini fridge, and a microwave. roadside parking was free and located conveniently outside the building. the location was great with the beach just a stone's throw away and the town centre just a short walk. les was a great host, very cute.
the shower was a bit slow to adjust to the correct temperature and the water flow was not as strong as i'd prefer.
