lovely stay with a view!

bathroom heater beach proximity
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.

The room included tea and coffee facilities. Extras were available on the sideboard near the front door for topping up. The hosts offered advice on local eateries. I liked that the room was quiet.
The toilet had problems. It took a long time to fill. It would not flush toilet roll easily. I thought the cleaner should have noticed this issue.
