Charming Stay, Will definitely be back!

cute hosts cleanliness breakfast condiments ideal location

The hosts were cute. I really appreciated the cleanliness and attention to detail. The breakfast had yoghurt, cereals, pastries and toast with lots of different condiments. Oh and real coffee machine and fruit juice! The location is ideal, just a short walk to attractions.

The shower had very poor water pressure from the shower, so it was difficult to warm up in there.

excellent location clean room mini fridge

The location is excellent. It is a short distance to the south pier, the pleasure beach, and the water park. The room was clean when I arrived. It also had a mini fridge with coffee and tea.

The room could have used an additional towel rack.
