lovely stay with a view!

bathroom heaterbeach proximitytoilet problem
i really enjoyed the normal-sized bathroom it had a heater for when i got out of the shower. i also loved that i was so close to the beach! the location was great.
the toilet took ages to fill up, it wouldn't flush even a small amount of toilet paper so i had to use the bin. the cleaner should have spotted this, it wasn't very hygienic.
