tables and toilets

short walksticky drink ringsbathroom light
the location was pretty good, a short walk to the beach, i suppose.
The tables really needed a scrub. I spotted crumbs on the table at breakfast. sticky drink rings were also present, so we had to ask for the table to be cleaned. Not once, but twice. the bathroom light wasn't working either and what sounded like a herd of elephants stampeded above us bright and early.

continental breakfastamazing viewperfectly cooked steak
The breakfast had a wide selection of continental options! including a full English. The staff was helpful, and the room had an amazing view. I found the steak perfectly cooked. Though it was a bit tough. The lamb shank was beautiful.
The fact that the parking across the street had a three-hour time limit was a small issue.
