relaxing stay

ample spacecalming atmosphereearly closure
the double room provided ample space and simple decor. i found the sea view particularly enjoyable. The light in the room created A calming atmosphere. i also appreciated the simplicity, contributing to a peaceful stay.
i noticed the bar closed earlier than expected on some nights, which limited options for evening relaxation. this closure MADE it difficult to fully enjoy the hotel amenities after a day of exploring.

the hotel is situated across from the beach. It allows for easy access to the main shopping centre. The southwest coastal path is nearby, presenting a variety of walking options. Exmoor is also easily accessible.

adequate stay but some issues

drafty windowchaotic service
The room felt quite stuffy. i noticed the window didn't quite close properly. it let in a draft and a fair bit of street noise. also, the breakfast service was a bit chaotic. I was never quite sure who to ask for coffee. It was a minor annoyance, but it happened twice.
