“I think this hotel's proximity to the beach and local dining is a real advantage. Expect clean, comfortable rooms; I was particularly impressed that even budget-friendly rooms include amenities such as tea/coffee facilities and mini-fridges. Based on what I read, it's a solid, practical base, especially if your priorities are location and comfort.”

decent stay nearby the beach

great locationsea viewcoffee facilityold carpetbroken toiletno reception

the location was great because its near the beach. our room included a sea view, towels, and tea and coffee making facilities. the staff also gave us bathroom miniatures, i wasnt expecting that.

There was a smell from the floor, probably because of the old carpet. the toilet flush was broken. It didn't flush when you use it many times. we had to figure out where to leave the door key because nobody was at reception when we checked out.

Great value stay NEAR the BEACH

prime locationconvenient fridgesea viewrolled towels

The location was excellent as it was close to the beach! We were able to walk to the beach in just two minutes. Our room offered a SEA view, and towels were neatly rolled on the bed. I really appreciated the tea and coffee facilities, as well as the fridge available in the room.

The extension lead for the kettle was sparking.

Surprising Find Near the Sea

amazing locationaccommodating staffsurprising value

The hotel location is near the beach, it's literally a two minute walk. A supermarket, restaurants, and a pub are nearby. The staff acted accommodating . It should say 'for stags' specifically because it would make more money.

The hotel charged ten pounds per day for parking onsite, but there was a big chance that I would not have a space after a long day.
