charming stay with seaside views
great view friendly staff comfortable bed
the location was perfect. big rooms provided great views. the staff were helpful and quite friendly. i found the beds comfortable and the family room was a generous size.
i did notice some stains on the bedding though. it wasn't a major issue. but it detracted slightly from an otherwise lovely experience.

I wasn't happy. the room i got felt really damp, and the old wallpaper smelled musty. it was cold in the room, then the bathroom had this freezer effect. I couldn't stay in there long. also, the mattress was way too soft. i could feel every spring. the whole thing was a letdown.

Wonderful Seaside Stay
fantastic location beautiful view coffee facilities comfortable 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.
