Excellent Accommodation near the Seafront

large bathroom comfortable armchairs
The room was spacious including a nice large bathroom. Sea views were available with comfortable armchairs. I found bathrobes to be a nice touch, as well as local bath products in refillable bottles, reducing plastic waste. The bed was comfortable, ensuring a restful night.
I found only decaf coffee sachets in the room. The coffee maker also did not work. I missed having biscuits available.
