Pros: The restaurant was very nice , staff were friendly. There was a fan in the bedroom . Tea or coffee was available but no bottled water Cons: The room I stayed in, the curtain was falling down . The water in the shower was so hot that I could not rinse my hair . Either too hot or very cold . Also rather dusty . When I asked about the bottled water . I was told by a rude short man that the tap water was good enough to drink . I was charged £5.20 for a glass bottle of spring water. Over twice what I have paid in Waitrose.

It enabled us to visit an attraction as planned otherwise wouldn’t recommend or stay again .
Pros: We had to pay extra for breakfast so declined . Cons: Great bar and good location . Room was very dated with visible mold .
Some poor aspects
Pros: Bed, location Cons: The cold water tap in the room didn't turn. Couldn't unplug the bathroom sink. No mat in the bath for the shower to prevent slipping. No breakfast menu. To view beforehand. When i rang reception about the bathroom plug no one offered to come up to solve the issue
Great location and friendly staff.
Pros: A lovely location with very helpful staff. The room was great with plenty of room. Breakfast was first class. Cons: Nothing
Pros: Location was great for the beach - a short walk, and the station, an even shorter walk. Staff were friendly and helpful, The room was just as you would expect for a low budget - I found it perfect for my one night stay. Just a generally nice atmosphere all round. Cons: Just a minor thing but left when no staff around and unclear as to where to leave the key.
