Comfortable stay near the sea
spacious roomflexible check-infree parking
The location was advantageous for my early trip to the Channel Tunnel with free parking available. My spacious room featured a double bed and two single beds. The coffee provided in the room was a welcome addition for my early start. Check-in and check-out were flexible for me.
The sink did not have a plug.
