average stay by the sea

perfect locationlack of hot water
the location was indeed perfect for exploring the area.
The lack of hot water one morning was quite frustrating. It certainly put a damper on the start of the day (especially for a special anniversary). we were offered no real solution at the time.

The room included a coffee machine. Robes and toiletries were also provided. I found the breakfast delicious and could choose from a menu.
I arrived at 12pm but I could not check in until 2pm. The bar was noisy and had too many yapping dogs. The further up the stairs I went, the less clean it was.
