pleasant staffconvenient locationclean roomnoisy roomroad noiselukewarm water
the location was definitely a plus. it allowed easy access to the nearby beach, perfect for a morning stroll. the staff was quite pleasant and helpful too. i also liked the cleanliness of the room, it felt refreshing after a day out.
the room facing the road was quite noisy. i had trouble keeping the window open because of it. the shower was a bit difficult to figure out. i only managed to get lukewarm water, strange.

The family owners were friendly. Bill cooked really good quality food at reasonable prices. The hotel has an excellent bus service just outside.
Noisy room by the road meant you couldn't open the window. Average facilities.

The location was a real plus. It was very close to the beach, convenient for a morning walk. The staff were friendly. They were very cute upon arrival.
The road outside the room was quite noisy. I could not leave the window open at night. The breakfast option seemed a bit expensive. It was about £13.50 per person.
