The room size was smaller than I anticipated. Getting around the bed was difficult. It felt cramped. Also the promised secure parking was non-existent. I had to use a paid car park nearby.

The staff provided a very warm welcome. They generously upgraded my room. Breakfast included a variety of cereals. The shower was very powerful.
There was a very strong smell of smoke in the hotel. The bedroom was quite tiny. The room was also very basic. I found this disappointing.

a decent stay

friendly stafftasty breakfastparking situationcigarette smoke
I stayed for a few nights! the breakfast was included, and it set me up nicely for the day. the staff were super attentive. I really appreciate that.
The parking situation was a bit misleading. I saw signs outside saying 'secure parking', but it wasn't actually on-site. the hotel had a strong smell of cigarette smoke, i really didn't enjoy that.

Excellent Stay with Delicious Breakfast

friendly ownersconvenient locationpaid car park
The owners were very friendly and catered to all my needs (i really felt at home). the bed was comfortable. i found the location very convenient. It was close to the sea front and shops.
The parking situation was not ideal. I had to use a paid car park up the road, unexpected and added to my expenses.
