adequate stay

coastal route warm room clean shower kettle plug bedside table bed head

the location allowed me to easily explore the coastal route. parking was very close to the building which was convenient. my room was warm. the shower room was very clean.

i found no plug socket for the kettle next to the drinks tray. i had to move the bedside table to plug in the hairdryer. the mirror was then above the bed head..

Really good Stay in a Charming Inn

friendly staff helpful service good sandwich current location

Lunch was very pleasant. The staff were friendly, and the service was helpful. I ordered a cheese and pickle sandwich on thick cut white farmhouse. The sandwich included a side salad and crisps and tasted good. I noted the location. It is up-to-date while keeping in harmony with history.

The single room I occupied felt a bit small. I hoped for a more spacious double room.
