Wonderful Seaside Stay
fantastic locationbeautiful viewcoffee facilitiescomfortable beds
The location was fantastic. The town was a short walk away. I enjoyed the beautiful view of the beach right from the bay window. The tea and coffee facilities came with a selection of biscuits and bottled water. I appreciated the comfortable beds .
The curtains in the room were slightly too small. This created a small privacy issue.
