dated cabin, car park view

easy accessdated cabinno privacy
the location was acceptable, providing easy access to nearby attractions.
The cabin was not as expected. it felt dated and needed an upgrade. The bed was uncomfortable, requiring a climb to get in and out. the stairs were in front of our cabin. This meant other guests saw us when we were in the hot tub and there was no privacy.

sea view tranquility

cozy bedlovely sofapetit kitchensea view
The little cabin was fine. It had everything i needed for a short break. The cabin features a petit kitchen area. i found a cozy bed and a lovely sofa. i sat and watched the sea from the sofa.
the television signal was rubbish. This made it difficult to watch evening shows. I hoped to connect to internet but it was impossible.
Service

staff was friendly. Reception hours seemed limited to 4pm. I saw staff check the hot tub daily. The team gave a warm welcome when I arrived.

Wonderful Coastal Cabin Stay

self contained cabinself cateringquiet locationbeautiful view
i stayed in a self contained cabin with self catering facilities it was a comfortable experience. the location offered easy commutes to nearby areas i found the location to be quiet and very close to the beach. the sea view from the cabin was beautiful giving a relaxing atmosphere.
the reception closes early and it would be useful if it stayed open slightly later.
