great stay with minor issue

comfortable bedsea viewhandy fridgeclean place

i stayed in a double room sea view. the room featured a comfortable super-king size bed. a fridge was available in the room, a nice addition! the entire place was clean, i noticed.

The toilet took a long time to fill, i noticed. flushing even small amounts of toilet roll proved difficult. I had to use the bin. i think this issue should have been caught by the cleaner.
