adequate stay with some minor issues

helpful staff convenient location door noise limited parking

The staff were really good, they were quick to help with any issues. all amenities were available . i found the location very convenient too. Everything was within easy reach.

the door to my room let in a lot of noise from the corridor, doors slamming kept me awake. parking was very limited on site. i had to park round on one of the back roads, it was quite busy too.

a haven by the sea

friendly staff fine location parking reservation

I found the reception staff to be friendly. They offered helpful advice about local attractions. the location was fine, providing easy access to the beach. my room had a comfortable bed, ensuring i could rest after my daily explorations, and i reserved my parking, a convenient perk.

I did notice some minor stains on the carpet in my room. It was a small issue, but it did detract slightly from the overall cleanliness.
