charming stay near the sea

matched rangeblackout curtainsunlit alleyway
the room had carefully chosen furniture that met my needs well. both the bedroom and bathroom were comfortably warm. the blackout curtains blocked all light from outside (i really needed this!). the provided towels were also of high quality.
the alleyway leading to the front door of the building was unlit. this made it a bit uninviting.

the location is very close to the sea front and town. the room was a perfect size for two people. the staff were friendly and accommodating .
the hotel lobby is unmanned and feels quite empty. the corridors felt windy, cold, and not very inviting. there was noise outside from people at night.
