The garden WAS beautiful, i will admit.

The room felt cold and damp during the night. The Walls felt very thin, so noise from other guests was very audible.

Excellent Family Room with Great Amenities

family room stove amenity friendly dog good value

I stayed in the Comfort Quadruple Room . This room included all the necessary amenities for my family, like a stove. I also appreciated the friendly dog on the hotel, he loved to be petted. I found it to be good value, only a short drive from the beach (about 5 minutes).

The smoke alarm was placed on the table with a sign, a bit odd.

Facilities

9/10

The premise offers convenient parking options and a communal kitchen space, equipped with essential appliances like a microwave. Two washing machines were available . This helped me to keep everything clean.

Location

8/10

The location has easy access to local attractions (I visited a local beach!). This access allowed for spontaneous day trips and exploration of the surrounding region. Public transport links are within walking distance, and easy access to the local shops.

Dining

9/10

The room included a toaster oven and an electric kettle, useful for preparing simple meals. Instant tea, coffee, and hot chocolate packets were provided, a thoughtful touch. Nearby cafes offer varied breakfast and lunch options.
