Wonderful stay!
prime locationfriendly staffexcellent breakfast
The location was FANTASTIC!!! It was within easy walking distance of both the beach and the town centre. The staff were genuinely friendly, and I was able to leave my luggage before check-in. The breakfast was cooked to order and served at my table.
I have no complaints.

a decent stay overall
great locationfriendly staffsmall tvbroken remote
The location was GREAT as it is a five minute walk to the beach and town center. The staff were friendly at check in (super important to me!).
The tv was too small for the room. The remote did not work properly, so I could not watch tv after a busy day (I was annoyed by this!).
