fantastic value and great location

great value comfortable bed perfect location

The value for money was amazing. I spent a small amount for my stay and it was much better than i expected. the room included two sinks and a separate shower, a deep bath, also toiletries and plenty of toilet paper. the bed was comfortable, i slept so well. the location was perfect. It was so easy to reach the beach and the town.

The window would not stay open so the room got very warm. I had to use coat hangers to prop it open. this resulted in the hangers falling onto the roof below. i didn't do that intentionally. there was no toilet paper provided. i had to get my own from a restroom as the shops were closed. this was very inconvenient.

Dining

i found many dining options nearby offering diverse cuisines and experiences, including seafood restaurants and traditional pubs. the restaurants were easy to access on foot. it was simple to explore various food choices.

Absolutely Fantastic Stay!

convenient location spacious room easy parking

I found the location just great. It was near town! The room was spacious and clean. Maintenance was clearly a priority, it was so refreshing. I loved the parking situation. It made everything easy.

The description matched the reality, but from the outside, it didn't look as great as I hoped.

Adequate, But Some Issues

remote car park absent staff

The room was acceptably clean upon arrival.

The lack of on-site staff was inconvenient. I had to call a number for assistance. The car park required a ten-minute walk, and the cost was unexpected (especially since I have a disability badge).

easy check-in good view

Self check in was straightforward. Views from the hotel toward the harbor are good. The room was spotlessly clean. The kitchen had a kettle, a toaster, and a microwave. I would definitely book again.

The parking situation could be better. I did not receive a response about a concern I messaged to the owners. I had to communicate by phone.
