i had free parking which was awesome. the rooms were cleaned every day, it was great. the staff were super friendly. i really appreciated the comfortable beds too.
the shower was not working. i stayed two nights and couldn't wash at all, even after i told them about the problem after my first night. the gentleman at the front desk did apologize when i checked out that is was still not fixed.

spacious roomuseful fridgeclose beachextra tesco
Our double and single bed room was very clean and quite spacious. it was super easy for my child to visit 'neighbours' next door! the mini fridge in the room was quite useful because it was rather hot outside. we found a tesco extra only a 2 minute walk away. The beach was about 5-10 minutes away too.
the corridor floors creaked as people walked by. it made sleeping difficult

middling stay with noise issues

helpful staffroom un-cleanlinessearly morning noise
the staff were helpful enough, so i can't complain too much.
the room was quite unclean, there were cobwebs everywhere, even in the bathroom, which isn't exactly appealing. plus, the noise from other guests partying until 7am really ruined any chance of a decent sleep. i would've appreciated a cleaner space and quieter environment.
