Fantastic Food and Friendly Faces!

lovely garden quick check-in friendly staff

I really enjoyed lunch in the lovely garden, it was a treat! My room was ready early, so check-in was super quick, yay. The cooked breakfast was very tasty and satisfying. The staff were lovely and always made sure I had everything I needed.

The shower was a bit tricky to use, I figured it out eventually though.

mixed feelings about this stay

moldy window small room

the location was decent (a short walk to the beach).

our room was quite small. there was mold on the bedroom window, not ideal. the bathroom definitely needed an upgrade, as there were cracks in the sink, rusty drains in both the sink and bath, a dirty shower head, and no opening window.

The fire exit access after hours involved walking past bins. It was a minor inconvenience. but worth mentioning.
